HERMES
Am Dm
On the road to hell there was a railroad track
PERSEPHONE
Am
Oh come on
HERMES
Am E
And a train coming out from way down below
PERSEPHONE
Am
That was not six months
HERMES
Am Dm
Better go an get your suitcase packed
Am E
Guess its time to go
Am Dm
Follow that dollar for a long way down
Am E
Far away from the poorhouse door
Am Dm
Either get to hell or to Hadestown
Am E
Ain't no difference anymore
Am Dm
Way down Hadestown
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
Am Dm
Hound dog howl and the whistle blow
Am E
Train comes a-rollin' clickety-clack
Am Dm
Nobody knows where that old train goes
Am E
Those who go they don't come back
Am Dm
Way down Hadestown
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
PERSEPHONE
Am Dm
Winter's nigh and summer's o'er
Am E
I hear that high and lonesome sound
Am Dm
Of my husband coming for
Am E
To bring me home to Hadestown
Am Dm
Way down Hadestown
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
Am Dm
Down there, it's a bunch of stiffs
Am E
Brother I'll be bored to death
Am Dm
Gonna have to import some stuff
Am E
Just to entertain myself
Am Dm
Give me morphine in a tin
Am E
Give me a crate of the fruit of the vine
Am Dm Am E
Takes alot of medicine to make it through the winter time
Am Dm
Way down Hadestown
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
FATES
Am Dm
Everybody dresses in clothes so fine
Am E
Everybody?s pockets are weighted down
Am Dm
Everybody sipping ambrosia wine
Am E
In a goldmine in Hadestown
Am Dm
Way down Hadestown
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
ORPHEUS
Am Dm
Everybody hungry, everybody tired
Am E
Everybody slaves by the sweat of his brow
Am Dm
The wage is nothing and the work is hard
Am E
It's a graveyard in Hadestown
Am Dm
Way down Hadestown
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
FATES
Am Dm
Every little penny in the wishing well
Am E
Every little nickel on the drum
Am Dm
All them shiny little heads and tails
Am E
Where do you think they come from?
Am Dm
They come from way down Hadestown
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
ORPHEUS & HERMES
Am Dm
Mister Hades is a mean old boss
Am E
With a silver whistle and a golden scale
Am
An eye for an eye!
Dm
And he weighs the cost
Am
A lie for a lie!
E
And your soul for sale
Sold!
Am Dm
To the king on the chromium throne
Thrown!
Am E
To the bottom of a sing-sing cell
Am Dm
Where the little wheel squeal and the big wheel groan
Am E
And you better forget about your wishing well
Am Dm
Way down Hadestown
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
HERMES
Am Dm
On the road to hell there was a railroad cart
Am E
And the cart doors opened and a man stepped out
Am Dm
Everybody looked and everybody saw
Am E
It was the same man they'ed been singing about
PERSEPHONE
Am
You're early
HADES
Am
I missed you
FATES
Am Dm
Mr. Hades is a mighty king
Am E
Must be making some mighty big deals
Am Dm
Seems like he owns everything
EURYDICE
Am E
Kind of makes you wonder how it feels
ALL
Am Dm
Way down Hadestown
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
Am Dm
Way down Hadestown
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
Am E Am
Way down under the ground
