Hadestown - We Raise Our Cups

Am                G           Esus
Pour the wine and raise a cup
                   D        Dsus D
Drink up brothers, you know how
 Dm

                     Eb      D
And spill a drop for Orpheus
    D6      D7 Dmaj7
Wherever he is now

[Chorus]
Dm         Eb                    
Some birds sing when the sun 
   Dm
shines bright
              Eb      F
Our praise is not for them
        Dm                   Eb   
But the ones who sing in the dead 
        F
of night

   Eb        F       G     Am
We raise our cups to them

[Verse 2]
               G
Wherever he is wandering
Dm             Dsus4 D Dm
Alone upon the earth
                Eb
Let our singing follow him
 D       D6   D7      Dmaj7
And bring him comfort

[Chorus]
Dm           Eb                  
Some flowers bloom where the 
        Dm
green grass grows
              Eb      F
Our praise is not for them
        Dm                    Eb  
But the ones who bloom in the 
        F
bitter snow
   Eb        F       G
We raise our cups to them

[outro]
   Eb        F         G
We raise our cups and drink them up
   Eb        F               G
We raise 'em high and drink 'em dry
   Eb          F      G
To Orpheus and all of us
 Eb        F         G
Goodnight, brothers, Goodnight!
