Mr. Hades set you free

To work yourself into the ground
Cm Cm Fm Fm
Free to spend eternity
Cm Cm
In the factory

And the warehouse

Where the whistles scream

And the foreman shouts
Cm Cm
And you're punchin' in
Fm Fm
And punchin' in

And punchin' in
G7 G7
And you can't punch out, and you’re-

Your eyes will look like that
someday

Who you are

A A lot can happen behind closed doors
Cm11 Cm11/D
Eurydice was a hungry young girl,
Cm11/Eb Cm11/F
but she wasn’t hungry anymore
Cm11 Cm11/D
What she was instead, was dead-
Cm11/Eb Cm11/F
Dead to the world, anyway
Cm11 Cm11/D
You see, she went behind those doors
Cm11/Eb Cm11/F
And signed her life away

To make the underworld go 'round

Way down Hadestown
