Epic Ii Tab uke di Hadestown

Bb
King of silver
C
King of gold
Bb
And everything glittering
      C
Under the ground
Bb
Hades is king
   B
Of oil and coal
Bb
And the riches that flow
            B
Where those rivers are found

Bb                            
But for half of the year with 
       C
Persephone gone
Bb                         C
His loneliness moves in him crude 
and black
Bb                               C
He thinks of his wife in the arms of
the sun
   Bb            B        Bb       
And jealousy fuels him and feeds him
       C
and fills him
     Bb                      C
With doubt that she'll never come
Bb                C
Dread that she'll never come
Bb             C
Doubt that his lover
     C7
Will ever come back

Bb
King of mortar
C
King of bricks
Bb                  C11
The River Styx is a river of stones
Bb                       C11
And Hades lays them high and thick
Bb                            C11
With a million hands that are not 
his own

Bb                             C11
With a million hands, he builds a 
wall
      Bb                          
Around all the riches he digs from 
   C11
the Earth
Bb
The pickaxe flashes
C11
The hammer falls
Bb               C
And crashing and pounding
Bb           C
As rivers surround him
Bb            C
And drown out the sound of the song 
he once heard:

Bb       C        Dm
La la la la la la la...
Bb       C        D
La la la la la la la...
Bb       C        Dm
La la la la la la la...
Bb       C
La la la la la la...
