Married to the king of the underworld
 
[Hermes]
       D                         C
She forgot a little thing called spring

D
When you're up, you're up
   D                    C                 D

That's right, Persephone!
D                              C

D         C
That's me
D                          C                D

[Company]
        C
You do!
 
[Persephone]
D                   C

    D               C                            D          C
Now some might say, the weather ain't the way it used to be
    D                   C               D             C
But let me tell you something that my mama said to me
    Bb                   Am        Bb                  Am

        A                G          A                    G
Who has finally returned to us with wine enough to share
       F                Em           F
Asking nothing in return except that we should live
    Em                  F                  Em
And learn to live as brothers in this life
       F                 Em
And to trust she will provide
       F                    Em           F                Em
And if no one takes too much, there will always be enough

She will always fill our cups
