[HERMES]
Bb
Once upon a time there was a 
railroad line
Bb
Don't ask where, brother, don't ask 
when
Bb
It was the road to Hell, it was hard times
         Db       Eb             Bb
It was a world of gods...and men!
Bb
It's an old song

[COMPANY]
Bb
It's an old song!

[HERMES]
Bb
It's an old tale from way back when
Bb
It's an old song

[COMPANY]
Bb
It's an old song!

[HERMES]
    Db          Eb      Bb
And we're gonna sing it again
Bb
Gods and men, a'ight?
Bb
We got some gods in the house 
tonight!

Bb
See, on the road to Hell there was a railroad line
Bb
And there were three old women all 
dressed the same
Bb
And they was always singin' in the 
back of your mind
Db        Eb        Bb
Everybody meet the Fates!

(FATES bow)

[HERMES]
Bb
And on the road to Hell there was a 
railroad line
Bb
And a lady steppin' off a train
Bb
With a suitcase full of summertime
Db      Eb     Bb
Persephone, by name!

(PERSEPHONE bows)
Bb
And if you ride that train

[COMPANY]
Bb
You ride that train

[HERMES]
Bb
If you ride that train

[COMPANY]
Bb
You ride that train

[HERMES]
Bb
If you ride that train to the end of
the line
Bb
Where the sun don't shine and it's 
always shady
Bb
It's there you'll find the king of 
the mine
Db  Eb          Bb
Almighty Mr. Hades!

(HADES bows)

[HERMES]
Bb
We got any other gods?
Bb
Oh, right, almost forgot...
Bb
On the road to Hell there was a 
railroad station
Bb
And a man with feathers on his feet
Bb
Who could help you to your final 
destination
Db   Eb       Bb
Mr. Hermes, that's me!

(HERMES bows)

[HERMES]
Bb
See, someone's got to tell the tale
C
Whether or not it turns out well
Fm
Maybe it will turn out this time
Fm
On the road to Hell
Fm
On the railroad line
Bb
It's a sad song

[COMPANY]
Bb
It's a sad song!

[HERMES]
Bb
It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
Bb
It's a sad song

[COMPANY]
Bb
It's a sad song!

[HERMES]
   Db Eb        Bb
We're gonna sing it anyway

Bb
Now, not everyone gets to be a god
Bb
And don't forget that times are hard
Bb
Hard times in the world of men
Bb
Let me introduce you to a few of 
them

Bb
You can tip your hats and your 
wallets
Bb
Brothers and sisters, boys and girls
Bb
To the hardest working Chorus
Db Eb     Bb
In the gods' almighty world!

(COMPANY bows)

[HERMES]
Bb
And workin' just as hard for you
Bb
Let's see what this crew can do!

(HERMES introduces the band. Band 
break. COMPANY applauds)

[HERMES]
Bb
A'ight!
Bb
A'ight!
Bb
A'ight!

Bb
On the road to Hell there was a 
railroad line
Bb/A
And a poor boy workin' on a song

[ORPHEUS]
Bb/A
La la la la la la...

[HERMES]
Bb/F
His mama was a friend of mine
Bb/Eb
And this boy was a muse's son
Bb
On the railroad line on the road to 
Hell
Bb/A
You might say the boy was touched

[ORPHEUS]
Bb/A
La la la la la la...

[HERMES]
Bb/F
Cause he was touched by the gods 
themselves!
Db      Eb       Bb
Give it up for Orpheus!

(ORPHEUS misses the cue)

[HERMES]
Bb
Orpheus!

(ORPHEUS bows)

[HERMES]
Bb
There was one more soul on this road
Bb
Girl, come on in from the cold!
Bb
On the railroad line on the road to 
Hell
Bb
There was a young girl looking for 
something to eat!
Bb                                  
And brother, thus begins the tale of
Db Eb       Bb
Orpheus and Eurydice!

Bb
It's a love song

[COMPANY]
Bb
It's a love song!

[HERMES]
Bb
It's a tale of a love from long ago
Bb
It's a sad song
