Underworld Blues Tab par The Mechanisms

ULYSSES
Am
Hades, Hades
Em
Hear my petition please
B
My name is Ulysses
          B   Am  G         Gb      Em
I seek to bury my fractured memories

Am
In the war, in the war
Em
The horrors that I saw
B
Saddled grief to my core
       B     Am   G  Gb   Em
I can’t take it any more


HADES
Am
Ulysses, Ulysses
Em
You come here on your knees
B
Begging for my release
      B        Am       G      Gb   Em
But I warn you it ain’t that easy

Am
In your mind, in your mind
Em
The horrors are too entwined
B
The only peace you will find
          B      Am      G      Gb      Em
Is in the refuge you yourself designed


HERACLES
Am
Hades, Hades
Em
I guess you managed to catch me
B
My name is Heracles
      B        Am    G      Gb      Em
I was sent here your dog to seize

Am
Of my tasks, of my tasks
Em
This was to be the last
B
But I know there’s more they’ll ask
             B        Am    G  Gb    Em
So if you’re going to kill me, do it fast

HADES
Am
Heracles, Heracles
Em
You’re tired that’s plain to see
B
I might just set you free
        B     Am     G         Gb      Em
But you gotta do one thing for me

Am
I’m inclined, I’m inclined
Em
To send you to a friend of mine
B
He’s got a job I think you’ll find
             B       Am    G        Gb      Em
Will pay the debt to which you’ve resigned

ORPHEUS
Am
Hades, Hades
Em
Hear my reprise
B
Drifting gently on the breeze
     B       Am      G        Gb      Em
As I beg for my true love’s reprieve

Am
All are hushed, all are hushed
Em
for the song of Orpheus
B
On my own I am lost
  B       Am             G       Gb      Em
I need my love back, whatever it costs

HADES
Am
Orpheus, Orpheus
Em 
You bring your song to us
B
I can release a mind if I must
       B       Am        G        Gb      Em
You’ve got the payment required I trust

Am
You are poor, you are poor
Em
What you need you can’t afford
B
But if you can thrive outside the law
         B        Am            G   Gb   Em
I know a job that pays what you need and more

ALL
Am            Em
Hades, Hades, to your terms I will agree

ULYSSES
B
I’ll find the vault

HERACLES
I’ll do the job happily

ORPHEUS
              B         Am
I’ll find the money for my love

ALL
G      Gb       Em
Then I shall be free
