Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Am]The deal is signed?
[Em]Yes
[C]'Bout time
[D]Get on the line
[Am]I did what I had t[Em]o do
[C]That's what they did too[D]

[Verse 1]
Now in [Am]Hadestown there were a [Em]lot of souls
[C](Oh, [D]keep your head, keep your head)
[Am]Workin' on a wall with [Em]all their might
[C](Huh, [D]oh, you gotta keep your head)
You [Am]see, they kept their [Em]heads down low
[C](Huh, [D]if you wanna keep your head)
You [Am]couldn't quite see their [Em]faces right
[C]But you could hea[D]r them singing
[Am](Oh, [Em]keep your head, keep your head)
[C]Swinging their hammers
in the [D]cold hard ground
[Am]You can hear the sound of the [Em]pick-axe ringin'
[C](Huh, [D]if you wanna keep...)
And they [Em]called it free[Am]dom

[Interlude 1]
[Am]I'm Eurydi[Em]ce
[C]Doesn't anybody hea[D]r me?
[Am]They can hear
But [Em]they don't care
[C]No one has a nam[D]e down here

[Verse 2]
[Am]Mister Hades set y[Dm]ou free
[Am]To work yourself into th[E]e ground
[Am]Free to spend eterni[Dm]ty
In the [Am]factory
And the [E]warehouse
Where the [Am]whistles scream
and the [Dm]foremen shout
And you're [Am]punching in
[Dm]Punching in
And [Am]punching in
And you [E]can't punch out

[Chorus 1]
And you're [Am]way down [Dm]Hadestown
[C]Way down [G]Hadestown
[Am]Way down H[Dm]adestown
[Am]Way down u[E]nder the g[Am]round

[Interlude 2]
[Am]Why won't anybody look[Em] at me?
[C]They can look, but [D]they don't see
You [Am]see? That's easier [Em]that way
[C]Your eyes will look like [D]that some day

[Verse 3]
[Am]Down in the river of ob[Dm]livion
[Am]You kissed your little life [E]goodbye
[Am]And Hades laid his hands[Dm] on you
And [Am]gave ya ever[E]lasting life
And [Am]everlasting [Dm]overtime
In the [Am]mine, in the mill
In the ma[E]chinery
Your [Am]place on the as[Dm]sembly line
Re[Am]places all your mem[E]ories

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Way down H[Dm]adestown
[C]Way down [Em]Hadestown
[Am]Way down H[Dm]adestown
[Am]Way down u[E]nder the g[Am]round

[Interlude 3]
[Am]What do you mean I'll look like that[Em]?
[C]That's what it looks like [D]to forget
Forget [Am]what?
Who you [Em]are and [C]everything
that came be[D]fore
[Am]I have to go
Go [Em]where?
Go back
[C]Oh? And whe[D]re is that?
[Am]So, what was your name[Em] again?
[C]You've already forgot[D]ten

[Interlude 4]
[Em]Ya see, it's like I said before
A lot can happen behind closed [Em]doors
Eurydice was a hungry young girl
But she wasn't hungry anymore
[Em]What she was instead was dead
Dead to the world anyway
[Em]You see, she went behind those doors
And signed her life away

[Verse 4]
(A- [Am]ooh) Saw that wheel up [Dm]in the sky
[Am]Heard the big bell tolli[E]ng
[Am]A lotta souls have[Dm] gotta die
To [Am]keep the rust belt [E]rolling
[Am]A lotta spirits gott[Dm]a break
To [Am]make the under[E]world go 'round

[Outro 1]
[Am]Way down H[Dm]adestown (Huh!)
[Am]Way down u[E]nder the g[Am]round
