_ Once upon a time it was a railroad line _ _ Donuts were ever the donuts were _ _
It was the road to hell It was hard times
[Db] It was the world of [Eb] gods _ _
[Bb] and men
_ _ _ _ [G] _
It's an [Bb] old song _ It's an old tale from way back when
It's an old song It's an old song
And [Bb] we're gonna sing it again
_ Gods and men, [Bbm] aye We got some [F] gods in the house tonight
_ [Bb] See on the road to hell there was [F] a railroad [Bbm] line
_ [Bb] And there were three old women all dressed the same
_ And they was always singing in the back of your mind
Everybody needs a face
_ _ _ _ And on the road to hell there was a railroad line
_ _ And a lady stepping off a train
_ _ With a [F] suitcase full of summertime, the Stephanie [Bb] Van Hays _
_ _ _ And if you ride that [Ab] train, [Bb] ride that train
If you ride that train, ride that train
If you ride that train to [Bbm] the end of the line
[Bb] _ Where the sun don't shine and it's always shady
_ _ _ [F] It's there you'll find [Db] the king of the mind, almighty [Bb] Mr.
Hades _ _ _ _
_ _ We got any other gods?
Oh right, [F] almost forgot
On the road to hell there was a railroad [Bb] station
And _ [F] a man with feathers on his [Bb] feet
_ [F] Who could help you to your final [Db] destination
Mr.
[Eb] Hermey, [Bb] that's me _ _ _
_ See someone's got to tell the tale
Whether or not it turns out well
Maybe it [F] will turn out this [Bb] time
On the road to [Eb] hell, on the railroad line
[Bb] It's a sad song, sad song
It's a sad tale, it's tragedy
[Bbm] It's a sad [F] song, sad song
I'm gonna sing it [Bb] anyway _ _ _ _ _
Now not everyone gets to be a god
Don't forget that times are hard
Hard times in the world for men
Let me introduce you to a few of them
You can tip your hats and your wallets
Brothers, sisters, boys, girls
You're the hottest [F] working chorus
In the [Bb] God's almighty world
_ _ _ _ _ And working just as hard for you
Let's see what this troop [Db] can do
[F] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ On [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ the road to hell there was a railroad line
_ _ [C] And a poor boy working on a sound
_ _ [Fm] [Bb] His mama was a friend of mine
And [Eb] this boy was a music's son
On the railroad line, on the road to hell _ _
[C] You might say the boy was touched _ _
[Bbm] Cause he was touched by the gods themselves
Give it [Bb] up for Orpheus
_ _ _ _ There was one more soul on this road
Girl, come on in from the cold
On the railroad line, on the road to hell _
There was a young girl looking for something to eat _ _
And brother, thus begins the [Db] tale
Of [Eb] Orpheus and [Bb] Eurydice _ _ _ _ _
It's a love song, it's a love song
It's a tale of a love from long ago
It's a sad song, [F] sad song
We're gonna [Eb] sing it as though [Bb] it's an old song
[Bb] It's an old tale from way back [Db] when
And we're gonna [Eb] fight, we're gonna [Db] strike
We're gonna [Bb] sing it again
