Wait For Me Chords

[HERMES]
Em
How to get to Hadestown
C
You’ll have to take the long way down through the underground
G
Undercover of night
D
Laying low staying out of sight,
            Em
Ain’t no compass brother ain’t no map
        C
Just a telephone wire and a railroad track
G
Keep on walking and don’t look back
          D
‘Til you get to the bottom land
 
[ORPHEUS]
   Em     C      G     D
Wait for me, I’m coming
   Em     C      G     D
Wait I’m coming with you
   Em     C      G     D
Wait for me, I’m coming too
   Em
I’m coming
 
[HERMES]
The River Styx is high and wide
C
Cinder bricks and razor wire
G
Walls of iron and concrete
D
Hound dogs howling 'round the gate
      Em
Those dogs’ll lay down and play dead
       C
If you got the bones, if you got the bread
       G
But if all you got is your own two legs
D
Just be glad you got ’em
 
[ORPHEUS]
 Em     C      G     D
Wait for me, I’m coming
   Em     C      G     D
Wait I’m coming with you
   Em     C      G     D
Wait for me, I’m coming too
   Em
I’m coming

Esus4
Who are you?
 
Where do you think you’re going?
D
Who are you?
 
Why are you all alone?
Esus4
Who do you think you are?
Em
Who are you to think that
 
You could walk the road
 
That no one ever walked before
 
[ORPHEUS]
Cmaj7    D        C
La La La La La La La
Em       D        E
La La La La La La La
Cmaj7    D        C

Em       D

[HERMES]
Em
You’re on the lam, you’re on the run
C
Don’t give your name, you don’t have one
    G
And don’t look no one in the eye
     D
This town will try to suck you dry
        Em
They’ll suck your brain,
 
They’ll suck your breath
        C
They’ll pluck the heart right out your chest
        G
They’ll truss you up in your Sunday best
    D
And stuff your mouth with cotton
 
[ORPHEUS]
   Em     C      G     D
Wait for me, I’m coming
   Em     C      G     D
Wait I’m coming with you
   Em     C      G     D
Wait for me, I’m coming too
   Em
I’m coming
 
Em
I’m coming wait for me
C
I hear the walls repeating
D
The falling of my feet and
 
It sounds like drumming!
Em
And I am not alone
C
I hear the rocks and stones
D
Echoing my song…
 
I’m coming!
