How Long Acordes

[PERSEPHONE]
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?
