Am                    Em
Heavy and hard is the heart of the king
Am           Em
King of iron, king of steel
Am                    Em
The heart of the king loves everything
         Am     D         Am
Like the hammer loves the nail


C                     D
But the heart of a man is a simple one
C              D
Small and soft, flesh and blood
    C                D
And all that it loves is a woman
C          D
a woman is all that it loves


    C                    D
And Hades is King of the scythe and the sword
C                          D
He covers the world in the color of rust
C                 D
He scrapes the sky and scars the earth
C                               D
And he comes down heavy and hard on us


C                        D
But even that hardest of hearts unhardened
C                 D
Suddenly, when he saw her there
C                 D
Persephone in her mother’s garden
C                     D
Sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair


C                            D
The smell of the flowers she held in her hand
C                                 D
And the pollen that fell from her fingertips
C                      D
And suddenly Hades was only a man
C                        D
With a taste of nectar upon his lips, singing:


C         D        Em
La la la la la la la…
C         D        E
La la la la la la la… oh singing
C        D        Em
La la la la la la la…
C        D
La la la la la la


Am                         Em
And what has become of the heart of that man,
Am                   Em
Now that the man is King?
Am                      Em
What has become of the heart of that man,
Am          D        Am
Now that he has everything?


C               D
The more he has, the more he holds,
C                             D
The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders
C                   D
See how he labors beneath that load
C                        D
Afraid to look up, and afraid to let go
C                                 D
And he keeps his head low, and he keeps his back bending
C                             D
He grows so afraid that he'll lose what he owns
C                                D
But what he doesn't know is that what he's defending
C          D
Is already gone


C                       D
Where is the treasure inside your chest?
C                       D
Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth?
C                          D
Where is the man with his hat in his hands?
    C
Who stands in the garden with nothing to lose, singing:


C        D        Em
La la la la la la la…
C        D        E
La la la la la la la… oh singing
C        D        Em
La la la la la la la…
C        D         E
La la la la la la
