How Long
Anais Mitchell
Gm
(início)
Bb Hades, my husband, Hades, my light Gm Hades, my darkness Bb If you had heard how he sang tonight Gm You'd pity poor Orpheus! Dm D All of his sorrow won't fit in his chest Gm Bb F It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest Gm Bb F And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest Bb F Gm How long, how long, how long?
HADES
Bb How long? Just as long as Hades is King Eb Gm Nothing comes of wishing on stars Bb Bb And nothing comes of the songs people sing Gm However sorry they are Gm Dm D Give them a piece and they'll take it all Gm Bb F Show them the crack and they'll tear down the wall Gm Bb F Lend them an ear and the Kingdom will fall Bb F Gm The Kingdom will fall for a song
PERSEPHONE
Bb F What does he care for the logic of kings? Gm The laws of your underworld? Bb F It is only for love that he sings! Gm He sings for the love of a girl!
HADES
Gm Dm D You and your pity don't fit in my bed Gm Bb F You just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed Gm Bb F And I turn like a bird on a spit in my bed Bb F Gm How long, how long, how long?
PERSEPHONE
Bb C How long? Just as long as I am your wife Gm It's true the earth must die C But then the earth comes back to life Gm And the sun just goes on rising
HADES & PERSEPHONE
Gm Dm D And how does the sun even fit in the sky? Gm Bb Dm It just burns like a fire in the pit of the sky Gm Bb Am And the earth is a bird on a spit in the sky Bb D Gm How long, how long, how long?
