Persephone:
Bb                       C  
Hades, my husband, Hades, my light
C              Gm9
Hades, my darkness
Gm7                                C  
If you had heard how he sang tonight
C                 Gm9
You'd pity poor Orpheus!
Gm7                     Dm7        D7
All of his sorrow won't fit in his chest
        Gm7                      Bb         F 
It just burns like a fire in the pit of his chest
        Gm7                  Bb          F 
And his heart is a bird on a spit in his chest
     Bb       F         Gm7
How long, how long, how long?

Hades:
    Bb                             C  
How long? Just as long as Hades is King
C                              Gm9
Nothing comes of wishing on stars
Gm7                                   C  
And nothing comes of the songs people sing
C                   Gm9
However sorry they are
Gm7                      Dm7           D7
Give them a piece and they'll take it all
Gm7                             Bb            F 
Show them the crack and they'll tear down the wall
Gm7                      Bb           F 
Lend them an ear and the Kingdom will fall
Bb               F          Gm9
The Kingdom will fall for a song

Persephone:
Bb                                 C  
What does he care for the logic of kings?
C                      Gm9
The laws of your underworld?
Gm7                         C  
It is only for love that he sings!
   C                        Gm9
He sings for the love of a girl

Hades:
Gm9                     Dm7       D7
You and your pity don't fit in my bed
         Gm7                     Bb        F 
You just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed
      Gm7                   Bb         F 
And I turn like a bird on a spit in my bed
    Bb        F         Gm9
How long, how long, how long?

Persephone:
    Bb                              C  
How long? Just as long as I am your wife
C                          Gm9
It's true the earth must die
Gm7                              C  
But then the earth comes back to life
C                        Gm9
And the sun just goes on rising

Hades & Persephone:
    Gm7                   Dm7        D7
And how does the sun even fit in the sky?
        Gm7                      Bb         F 
It just burns like a fire in the pit of the sky
        Gm7                  Bb          F 
And the earth is a bird on a spit in the sky
    Bb        F         Gm9
How long, how long, how long?
