Artist: Anais Mitchell - Hadestown
[ORPHEUS]
[C] King of diamonds,[D] king of spades!
[C]Hades was k[G]ing of the k[D]ingdom of dirt
[C]Miners of mines, d[D]iggers of graves
[C]They bowed down to [G]Hades who[D] gave them work
And they b[C]owed down to Hades who[D] made them sweat
Who p[C]aid them their [G]wages and s[D]et them about
[C]Digging and d[G]redging and d[D]ragging the depths
Of the e[C]arth to turn its [G]insides [D]out, singing
[CHORUS]

[VERSE]
[C] King of mortar,[D] king of bricks
[C]The River Styx was a river of [D]stones
[C]And Hades laid them [D]high and thick
[C]With a million h[G]ands that were [D]not his own
[C]And a million feet that f[D]ell in line
[C]And stepped in time with H[D]ades' step
[C]And a million minds that were [D]just one mind
[C]Like stones in a r[D]ow
And s[C]tone by s[D]tone
And r[C]ow by r[D]ow
[D]The River rose up, singing
[CHORUS]
