and the rest of the song gets played consistently in the pattern used for both A chords
up there. just move to the appropriate four strings. (sometimes she swtiches whether
the third or fourth string gets picked on the downbeat, just listen for it if it's
crucial.) There's two chords I don't know enough theory to name properly, but i'm
certain of the notes in them.

[INTRO]
Dsus2, Dm, Am7, A7 (as above)
Dsus2, Dsus2, G7/F, A7/E
[C]Hades, my husband, Hades, my [G7/F]light
[G7/F]Hades, my dark[Dsus2]ness
[Dsus2]If you had heard how he sang [G7/F]tonight
You’[G7/F]d pity poor Orp[Dsus2]heus!
[Dsus2]All of his sorrow won’[Am7]t fit in hi[A7]s chest
[Dsus2]It just burns like a fire in the [G7/F]pit of his [A7/E]chest
[Dsus2]And his heart is a bird on a [G7/F]spit in his [A7/E]chest
How [G7/F]long, how [A7/E]long, how [Dsus2]long?
How [C]long? Just as long as Hades is [G7/F]King
Nothing [G7/F]comes of wishing on [Dsus2]stars
[Dsus2]And nothing comes of the songs people [G7/F]sing
[G7/F]However sorry they [Dsus2]are
[Dsus2]Give them a piece and [Am7]they’ll take i[A7]t all
[Dsus2]Show them the crack and they’l[G7/F]l tear down th[A7/E]e wall
[Dsus2]Lend them an ear and the [G7/F]Kingdom will [A7/E]fall
[G7/F]The Kingdom will [A7/E]fall for a [Dsus2]song
[C]What does he care for the logic of [G7/F]kings?
The [G7/F]laws of your under[Dsus2]world?
[Dsus2]It is only for love that he [G7/F]sings!
He [G7/F]sings for the love of a [Dsus2]girl
[Dsus2]You and your pity don’[Am7]t fit in m[A7]y bed
[Dsus2]You just burn like a fire in the [G7/F]pit of my [A7/E]bed
[Dsus2]And I turn like a bird on a [G7/F]spit in my [A7/E]bed
How [G7/F]long, how [A7/E]long, how [Dsus2]long?
How [C]long? Just as long as I am your [G7/F]wife
It’[G7/F]s true the earth mus[Dsus2]t die
[Dsus2]But then the earth comes back to [G7/F]life
And the [G7/F]sun just goes on [Dsus2]rising
[Dsus2]And how does the sun even [Am7]fit in the [A7]sky?
[Dsus2]It just burns like a fire in the [G7/F]pit of the [A7/E]sky
[Dsus2]And the earth is a bird on a [G7/F]spit in the [A7/E]sky
How [G7/F]long, how [A7/E]long, how [Dsus2]long?
