Chords for Hadestown Original Broadway Cast - Epic III - Lyrics

[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] King of shadows, _ [C] _ _ _ _ king of shades, _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
Hades was king _ _ [C] of the underworld.
Now it's about me. _ _ _
Go on.
_ [F] _ _ _ _
[Bb] But he fell in [C] love with a beautiful lady, _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] who walked up above _ in _ [F] her mother's [C] green field.
_ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ He fell in love with [C]
Persephone, _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
who was gathering [C] flowers in the light of the sun. _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] And I know how it was because _ [Bb] he was like me, _
_ [F] a [C] man _ [Fm] in _ love with a woman. _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ Singing [Fm] la la la la [Dm] la la la. _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] Where _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ did you get [Bb] that melody? _
_ _ [F] Let _ [Dm] _ _ _
him finish [Bb] Hades.
_ La [C] la la la la [Bb] la
[F] You didn't know how, _ _ [C] and you didn't know [F] why _ _
But you knew that you [C] wanted to take her home _
[F] You _ _ saw her alone [C] there, against the sky
[F] _ _ _
It was like she was [C] someone _ you'd always [Fm] known
[Bb] _ _ [F] It was like you were [C] holding the world when you held her
[F] _ _
Like yours were the arms that [C] the whole world was in
[Bb] _ And there [F] were no words for the [C] way that you felt
[F] _
So you opened your mouth, _ and [C] you started to sing
_ [F] La la la la la [Dm] la
[F] _ _ La [Bb] _
_ la [C] la la _ [D] _ _

[Dm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ What has become [F] of the _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] heart of [F] this king?
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ What has become [Fm] of the heart of that man?
_ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ [F] Now that he has _ _ _ _ _ _ _ everything
The _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Fm] more he has, [C] _ _ [F] [C] the more [Bb] he [F] holds
[Bb] _ [Fm] The greater the [C] weight of the world on his [Bb] [F] shoulders _
[Bb] [Fm] See _ how he labors beneath that [Bb] load
_ Afraid [F] to look up, and [C] afraid to let go
[Bbm] So he keeps his head low, _ [F] he keeps his back bending
_ [Bb] _ He's grown so [F]
afraid that he'll lose what he owns
[Bb] _
But _ [Fm] what he doesn't know is that [C] what he's defending
_ [Bb] Is _ _ _ _ _ already gone _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Where is the treasure _ [C] inside of your chest?
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
Where is your pleasure?
_ [C] _ _
_ _ _ Where is your youth?
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] Where is the man [C] _ _ _ _
with his arms outstretched
_ [F] To _ _ the [Bb] woman he loves [C] with _ _ _ nothing to lose? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] Singing la [Fm] la la [F] la _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
