C D
King of diamonds, king of spades!
C G D
Hades was king of the kingdom of dirt
C D
Miners of mines, diggers of graves
C G D
They bowed down to Hades who gave them work
C D
And they bowed down to Hades who made them sweat
C G D
Who paid them their wages and set them about
C G D
Digging and dredging and dragging the depths
C G D
Of the earth to turn its insides out, singing
[Chorus]
C D Em
La la la la la la la...
C D E
La la la la la la la...
C D Em
La la la la la la la...
G D C
La la la la la la...
[Verse]
C D
King of mortar, king of bricks
C D
The River Styx was a river of stones
C D
And Hades laid them high and thick
C G D
With a million hands that were not his own
C D
And a million feet that fell in line
C D
And stepped in time with Hades? step
C D
And a million minds that were just one mind
C D
Like stones in a row
C D
And stone by stone
C D
And row by row
The River rose up, singing
[Chorus]
C D Em
La la la la la la la...
C D E
La la la la la la la...
C D Em
La la la la la la la...
G D C
La la la la la la...
