[Am]Way down [E]under [Am]the ground

[Verse 2]
[Am]Hound dog [Dm]howl and the whistle blow
Train [Am]come a-rollin, clickety-clack
[E]Everybody Everybody [Am]Everybody
tryin' to get a [Dm]ticket to go [Am]but
Those who go they [E]don't come back
They goin' [Am]way d[Dm]own

To [Am]bring me home [E]to [Am]Hadestown

[Verse 4]
Down [Am]there, it's a bunch of stiffs
[Dm]Brother, I'll be bored to death
Gon[Am]na ha[E]ve to im[Am]port s[Dm]ome stuff
[Am]Just to entertain [E]my [Am]self
Give me morphine in [E]a tin
Give [Am]me a [E]crate of the
[Am]fruit of the v[Dm]ine
Takes [Am]a lot of medicine
To [E]make it through the wintertime

[Verse 5]
[Am]Every little penny in the [Dm]wishing well
[Am]Every little nickel on the
[E]drum (on the [Am]drum)
All them shiny [Dm]little heads and tails
[Am]Where do you think they
come [E]from?
They come from
[Am]Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[Verse 6]
Everybody [Am]hungry
Everybody tired
Everybody slaves by the
sweat of his brow
The wage is nothing and the work is hard
It's a graveyard in Hadestown
Way down Hadestown
Way down under the ground

[Verse 7]
Mr. Hades is a [Am]mean old boss
With a silver whistle [E]and a golden scale
An [Am]eye for an eye!
And he [Dm]weighs the [Am]cost
A lie for a lie!
[E]And your soul for sale
[Am]Sold!

[Verse 8]
To the king on the [Dm]chromium throne
[Am]Thrown!
To the bottom of [E]a Sing Sing cell
Where the [Am]little wheel squeals
and the [Dm]big [Am]wheel groans
And you better forget about
[E]your wishing well
[Am]Way down Hadestown
Way down [Dm]under the ground
[Am]On the Road

[Verse 9]
to Hell,
there was a railroad car (mm)
And the car door opened and a
man stepped out (mm)
Everybody looked and everybody saw
It was the same man they'd been
singing about
You're early
I missed you

[Verse 10]
Mr. Hades is [Dm]a mighty king
[Am]Must be making some [E]mighty big deals
[Am]Seems like he own[Dm]s everything
[Am]Kind of makes you wonder
how it [E]feels

[Verse 11]
All aboard [E]A-one, A-two
A-one, two, two, two,
two, three, four
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 12]
Way [Dm]down [Am]Hadestown
Way [E]down under the [Am]ground
[Dm]Way [Am]down Hadestown
Way down [E]under the [Am]ground
Way down [E]under [Am]the ground
Way [E]down under the [Am]ground
