Epic I Tab por Hadestown

[Hermes]
Gm
Where'd you get that melody?

[Orpheus]
F
I don’t know. It came to me
Gm
As if I'd known it all along

[Hermes]
    F
You have. It's an old song
Gm
A song of love from long ago
F
Long-time since I heard it though

[Orpheus]
Gm                       F
You’ve heard that melody before?

[Hermes]
C
Sure...

[Orpheus]
C
Tell me more

[Hermes]
Gm                                
Remember the tale I told you once 
         F
about the Gods?

[Orpheus]
F
Which ones?

[Hermes]
Gm
Hades and Persephone
F
Remember how it used to be
          Gm
Their love that made the world go 
round?

[Orpheus]
F
Yeah, I remember now
Gm                 F
But that was long ago

[Hermes]
C
Tell it again, though...

[Orpheus]
Bb
King of shadows
C
King of shades
Bb                    C
Hades was king of the Underworld
Bb                             C
But he fell in love with a beautiful lady
          Bb                      C
Who walked up above in her mother's 
green field
Bb                      C
He fell in love with Persephone
       Bb                       
Who was gathering flowers in the 
            C
light of the sun
      Bb                          
And he took her home to become his 
C
queen
          Bb
Where the sun never shone
   C
On anyone

[Hermes]
C
Go on...

[Orpheus]
   Bb                     C
The lady loved him and the kingdom 
they shared
       Bb                     
But without her above, not one 
C
flower would grow
       Bb                         
So King Hades agreed that for half 
       C
of each year
         Bb                        
She would stay with him there in his
C
world down below
Bb                                 
But the other half, she could walk 
C
in the sun
Bb                                C
And the sun, in turn, burned twice 
as bright
Bb                         C
Which is where the seasons come from
    Bb             C
And with them, the cycle
       Bb           C
Of the seed and the sickle
        Bb           C
And the lives of the people
        B
And the birds in their flight

[Hermes]
B
Singing...

[Orpheus]
Bb       C        Dm
La la la la la la la...

[Hermes]
Dm
Down below and up above

[Orpheus]
Bb       C        D
La la la la la la la...

[Hermes]
D
In harmony and rhythm

[Orpheus]
Bb       C        Dm
La la la la la la la...

[Hermes]
Dm
The Gods sang a song of love

[Orpheus]
Bb       C
La la la la la la la...

[Hermes]
        Bb
And the world sang it with them
N.C.
But that was long ago
N.C.
Before we were on this road
