[Verse 1]
G#m                                           F#
Heavy and hard is the heart of a king
G#m                          F#
King of iron, king of steel
G#m                                      F#
The heart of the king loves everything
G#m                          F#              C#
like the hammer loves the nail

B                                                  C#
but the heart of a man is a simple one
B                                      C#
small and soft, flesh and blood
B                                      C#
and all that it loves is a woman
B                                      C#
a woman is all that it loves

B                                      C#
And Hades is king of the scythe and the sword
B                                                  C#
he covers the world in the colour of rust
B                                                  C#
he scrapes the sky and scars the earth
B                                                              C#
and he comes down heavy and hard on us

B                                                  C#
But even that hardest of hearts unhardened
B                                      C#
suddenly when he saw her there
B                                                  C#
Persephone in her mother\’s garden
B                                                  C#
sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair

B                                      C#
the smell of the flowers she held in her hand
B                                                  C#
and the pollen that fell from her fingertips
B                                                              C#
And suddenly Hades was only a man
B                                                  C#
with a taste of nectar upon his lips, singing

[Chorus]
B      C#    G#m
La la la la la la la
B      C#    D#
La la la la la la la
B C# G#m
La la la la la la la
B C# D#
La la la la la la (la)

[Verse 2]
G#m F#
What has become of the heart of that man,
G#m F#
Now that the man is king
G#m F#
What has become of the heart of that man,
G#m F#
Now that he has everything

B C#
The more he has, the more he holds,
B C#
The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders
B C#
See how he labors beneath that load
B C#
Afraid to look up, and afraid to let go

B C#
And he keeps his head low, and he keeps his back bending
B C#
He grows so afraid that he\’ll lose what he owns
B C#
But what he doesn\’t know is that what he\’s defending
B C#
Is already gone

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

[Chorus]
B C# G#m
La la la la la la la
B C# D#
La la la la la la la
B C# G#m
La la la la la la la
B C# D#
La la la la la la la

G                                                       D
We two have run about the slopes,
Em                                     C
and picked the daisies fine;
G                                                       D
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
Em         C           G
since auld lang syne.

G                                     D
We two have paddled in the stream,
Em                                     C
from morning sun till dine;
G                                     D
But seas between us broad have roared
Em                   C      G
since auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand my trusty friend!
Em                                     C
And give me a hand o’ thine!
G                                                     D
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
Em     C                   G
for auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne.
