Hadestown - Wait For Me

[Verse 1]
Am/D
    How to get to Hadestown:
       C7/A#
You'll have to take the long way down
            Fmaj7
Through the underground,
under cover of night
C
Laying low, staying out of sight
         Am/D
Ain't no compass, brother, ain't no map
       C7/A#
Just a telephone wire and a railroad track
Fmaj7
Keep on walking and you don't look back
     C
'Til you get to the bottomland

[Chorus]
    Dm       A#    F     C
Wait  for me,  I'm coming
     Dm   A#        F   C
Wait,  I'm  coming with you
    Dm       A#    F         C
Wait  for me,  I'm coming too
           Am/D
I'm coming too 

[Verse 2]
The River Styx is high and wide
C7/A#
     Cinder bricks and razor wire
Fmaj7
     Walls of iron and concrete
C
Hound dogs howling 'round the gate
      Am/D
Those dogs'll lay down and play dead
       C7/A#
If you got  the bones,
if you got the bread
       Fmaj7
But if all  you got is your own two legs
C
 Just be glad you got 'em

[Chorus]
    Dm       A#    F     C
Wait  for me,  I'm coming
     Dm   A#        F   C
Wait,  I'm  coming with you
    Dm       A#    F         C
Wait  for me,  I'm coming too
           Dm
I'm coming too

[Verse 3]
Who are you?
Where do you think you're going?
Who are you?
Why are you alone?
Who do you think you are?
Who are you to think that you can walk a road
That no one ever walked before?

[Bridge]
Dm
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ah-ah
La-la-la-la-la-la

[Verse 3]
       Am/D
You're on  the lam, you’re on the run
C7/A#
Don't give your name, you don't have one
F
And don't look no one in the eye
C
This town will try to suck you dry
        Am/D
They'll suck your brain,
they'll suck your breath
C7/A#
They'll pluck the heart right out your chest
F
They'll truss you up in your Sunday best
    C
And stuff your mouth with cotton

[Chorus]
    Dm       A#    F     C
Wait  for me,  I'm coming
     Dm   A#        F   C
Wait,  I'm  coming with you
    Dm       A#    F         C
Wait  for me,  I'm coming too
I'm coming

[Outro]
Am/D
    I'm coming, wait for me
C7/A#
     I hear the walls repeating
F/C
   The falling of my feet and
It sounds like drumming
Am/D
    And I am not alone
C7/A#
     I hear the rocks and stones
F/C
   Echo in my song
C
 I'm coming...
