Chords for Epic III Hadestown Lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Heavy and [F#] hard is the heart [B] of a king, [G#m] _ King of [F#] iron, king of steel.
[G#m] The heart of a [F#] king loves [D#m] everything like [G#m] the hammer [F#] loves [C#] the nail. _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ But the heart of a man [G#] is a simple [B] one, Small and [F#] soft, [G#] flesh and blood.
[B] And all that it [A#] loves is a woman, [B] _ A woman [C#] is all that it loves.
[B] And Hades [F#] is king [C#] of the scythe and the sword, [B] He [F#] covers the world [C#] in the color of rust.
_ [B] He [F#] scrapes the sky [A#m] and [C#] scars the earth, [B] And he comes down heavy [C#] and hard on [G#m] us.
[B] But even that [C#] hardest of hearts _ [B] unhardens suddenly when [C#] he saw her there.
[B] _ Persephone [C#] in her mother's garden, [B] Her son on her shoulders [C#] with her hair.
The smell of the flowers [C#] she held [G#] in her [B] hand, And the pollen that fell [F#] from [C#] her fingertips.
[B] And suddenly Hades [C#] was only a [B] man, With a [D#] taste of nectar [C#] upon his lips,
[B] Singing la [C#] la la la la [A#] la [D#m] la.
_ [B] La [C#] la la la la [D#] la la la.
_ [B] _ _ [A#m] _ _
[D#m] _ [C#] _ _ _ [B] La [G#] la la la la la la [C#] la.
_ [D#m] _ _ _ _
[B] _ [C#] _ _ _ [D#] _ Oh, sing [B] him la la la la la [D#m] la. _ _ _
[B] La la la la la [D#m] la la la. _ _
[B] La la la la la la [A#] la la.
La la la la la [C#] la la la.
_ [A#m] _ _ _ _
[D#] Oh, [F] sing him la la [F#] la la la [B] la la.
La la la la la la la la. _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ And what has [F#] become of the heart of that man, _ [G#] _
Now that the man is king?
What [G#] _
has become [F#] of the heart of that man, [C#] Now that he has _ [C#] everything? _ _
[F#] [B] The more he has, [C#] the more he [F#] holds, The greater the weight. _ _ _ _
[B] See how he [C#] labors beneath that load, [B] Afraid to look up [C#] and afraid to let go.
[F#] And he keeps his head low, [C#] and he keeps his back bending.
[B] He's grown so [C#] afraid that he'll lose what he owns.
[B] But what he doesn't [C#] know, is that what he's defending, [B] _ is [F#] already gone.
[C#m] _ _
[B] _ _ [F#] Where is the treasure [C#] inside your chest?
_ _ [B] _ Where is your pleasure?
[C#] _ _
Where is your youth?
_ [F#] _ Where is the man [C#] with his hat in his hands,
Who [F#] stands in the garden [C#] with nothing to lose? _
[B] Sing him la la la [C#] la la [D#m] _ _ _
_ _ [B] la la.
La [C#] la la _
[D#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[C#] _ _ [D#m] _ _ [D#] _ [D#m] _ _
la la la la [C#] la. _ _ _ _
