If It's True (hadestown) taby ukulele według Anaïs Mitchell

Am
If it's true what they say
F
If there's nothing to be done
Em
If it's true that it's too late
F
And the girl I loved is gone
Am
If it's true what they say
 F
Is this how the world is?
 Em                                   G
To be beaten and betrayed and then be told that nothing changes
F
It'll always be like this?
 
Am                       F
If it's true what they say
Am                F
I'll be on my way

And the boy turned to go
'Cause he thought no one could hear
But everybody knows that walls have ears

F
And the workers heard him
Am
If its true what they say
F
With their hammers swinging
Am
Whats the purpose of a man
Em
And they quit their working
Am
Just to turn his eyes away
                     F
When they heard him singing
Am               F
Just to throw up both his hands?

No hammer swinging
Am
whats the use of his backbone?
F
No pickax ringing
Am
if he never stands upright
Em
And they stood and listened
Am
If he turns his back on everyone
F
to the poor boy singing
F
that he could've stood beside

 
 
Am       C              F
If it's true what they say
Am            F
I'll be on my way
Am                   F
But who are they to say
          Em             Am
What the truth is anyway
 
Am                          F
Cause the ones who tell the lies
F
Are the solemnest to swear
Em
And the ones who load the dice
F
Always say the toss is fair
Am
And the ones who deal the cards
(Deal the cards)
F
Are the ones who take the tricks
Em
With their hands over their hearts
F
While we play the game they fix
Am
And the ones who speak the words
(Speak the words)
F
Always say it is the last
Em
And no answer will be heard
F
To the question no one asks

F
So Im asking if its true
F                               Am
Im asking me and you and you and you
G
I believe our answer matters more than anything they say
(We stand stand and listen)

G
I believe if there is still a will
Em
Then there is still a way
(We're standing with him)

Em
I believe there is a way
               G
I believe in us together
                Am
More than anyone alone
(We're standing near him)

Am
I believe that with each other, 
       F
we are stronger than we know
(We hear him)

F                            G
I believe we're stronger than they know
Am
I believe that we are many
F
I believe that they are few
(We're standing)
                   Em
And it isn't for the few
          Am            F
To tell the many what is true
(We understand him)

 
Am
So I ask you
F
If It's true what they say
(We're standing)

Em
I'll be on my way
F
Tell me what to do
                 G              Em
Is it true? Is it true what they say?
