A       G#m
Doesn't matter which one
C#m                   A          G#m
 'Cause it seems your song made quite a strong impression on my wife
C#m                   A             G#m
 But it takes more than singin' songs to keep a woman in your arms

Take it from a man no longer young

If you want to hold a woman, son

Hang a chain around her throat
A       G#m
Made of many carat gold

Shackle her from wrist to wrist
   A          G#m
With sterling silver bracelets

Fill her pockets full of stones

Precious ones, diamonds

Bind her with a golden band

Take it from an old man

Hades:
C#m
Young man, I was young once too
A         G#m
Sang a song of love like you
C#m
Son, I too, was left behind
A         G#m
Turned on one too many times
C#m
Now I sing a different song
A      G#m
One I can depend upon
 C#m
A simple tune, a steady beat
A       G#m
The music of machinery
C#m
You hear that heavy metal sound?
A         G#m
The symphony of Hadestown
C#m
And in this symphony of mine
A       G#m
Of power cords and power lines
C#m
Young man, you can strum your lyre
A           G#m
I have strung the world in wire
C#m
Young man, you can sing your ditty
A
I conduct the electric city!

Hades:
C#m
I'll tell you what, young man
A            G#m
Since my wife is such a fan
C#m
And since I'm going to count to three
A            G#m
And put you out of your misery
C#m
One!-- give me one more song
A           G#m
One more song before I send you
C#m
Two!-- to the great beyond
   A        G#m
Where nobody can hear you singing
C#m
Three!-- sing a song for me
A       G#m
Make me laugh, make me weep
C#m        B      A
Make the king feel young again
G#m       C#m
Sing for an old man!
