Hadestown - Wait For Me chords by Soundtracks

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

HERMES:

Em       C
How to get to Hadestown:
G            D
You’ll have to take the long way down
      Em          C
Through the underground, under cover of night
G          D
Laying low, staying out of sight
    Em             C
There ain’t no compass, brother, ain’t no map
     G           D
Just a telephone wire and the railroad track
Em             C
You keep on walking and you don’t look back
     G         D
’Til you get to the bottomland

ORPHEUS:

Em    C    G  D
Wait for me, I’m coming
Em    C    G  D
Wait, I’m coming with you
Em    C    G  D
Wait for me, I’m coming too
      Em
I’m coming too


HERMES:
Em         C
The River Styx is high and wide
G         D
Cinder bricks and razor wire
Em       C
Walls of iron and concrete
G          D
Hound dogs howling 'round the gate
Em          C
Them dogs’ll lay down and play dead
    G           D
If you got the bones, if you got the bread
    Em         C
But if all you got is your own two legs
   G        D
You best be glad you got ’em



ORPHEUS and FATES:

Em    C    G  D
Wait for me, I’m coming
Em    C    G  D
Wait, I’m coming with you
Em    C    G  D
Wait for me, I’m coming too
      Em
I’m coming too



HERMES:

Em            C
You’re on the lam, you’re on the run
G             D
Don’t give your name, you don’t have one
  Em        C
And don’t look no one in the eye
 G           D
This town will try to suck you dry
    Em            C
They’ll suck your brain, they’ll suck your breath
     G          D
They’ll pluck the heart right out your chest
     Em         C
They’ll truss you up in your Sunday best
    G         D
And stuff your mouth with cotton



ORPHEUS and COMPANY:

Em    C    G  D
Wait for me, I’m coming
Em    C    G  D
Wait, I’m coming with you
Em    C    G    D
Wait for me, I’m coming too

I’m coming!

Em
Wait,
C
Wait,
G
Wait,
D
Wait...
