Epic Ii Tabulatur von Anaïs Mitchell (für Baryton)

[Intro]
C               D
King of diamonds, king of spades!
C          G           D
Hades was king of the kingdom of dirt
C                 D
Miners of mines, diggers of graves
C                  G        D
They bowed down to Hades who gave them work
          C                     D
And they bowed down to Hades who made them sweat
     C              G          D
Who paid them their wages and set them about
C            G            D
Digging and dredging and dragging the depths
        C        G      D
Of the earth to turn its insides out, singing


[Chorus]
C        D        Em
La la la la la la la...
C        D        E
La la la la la la la...
C        D        Em
La la la la la la la...
G        D        C
La la la la la la...


[Verse]
C              D
King of mortar, king of bricks
C                             D
The River Styx was a river of stones
C                   D
And Hades laid them high and thick
C               G              D
With a million hands that were not his own
C                        D
And a million feet that fell in line
C                         D
And stepped in time with Hades? step
C                             D
And a million minds that were just one mind
C                 D
Like stones in a row
     C        D
And stone by stone
     C      D
And row by row

The River rose up, singing


[Chorus]
C        D        Em
La la la la la la la...
C        D        E
La la la la la la la...
C        D        Em
La la la la la la la...
G        D        C
La la la la la la...


[Outro]
