Epic The Musical - Polyphemus Chords & Tabs

by Misc Musicals

[Version Description]
Since the accompaniment is melody-based, some chords don't line up exactly with what's actually played, but I've arranged them to capture the characteristic sound of the motives. That way, you can play along just fine, but also play by yourself without it sounding incomplete.

[Intro]
--- ODYSSEUS ---
Abm       
Over here!

[Verse 1]
--- POLITES, (EURYLOCHUS) ---
                 Abm/E                   Gb   
Look at all this food, look at all these sheep
          Gb/Eb                                  Abm 
I can't believe this cave has all this for us to keep
                       Abm/E                       Gb    
(I've gotta hand it to you both, this is quite the treat)
            Gb/Eb                               Abm   
(There are enough sheep here to feed the entire fleet)

[Verse 2]
--- ODYSSEUS, (POLYPHEMUS) ---
                Abm/E  Gb               Gb/Eb Abm
It's almost too perfect, too good to be true
              Abm/E        Gb                  Gb/Eb
Why would the lotus eaters pass up on all this food?
N.C.
(Who are you?)

[Interlude]
--- ODYSSEUS ---
Ab5                                               
Hey there, We're just travellers, We come in peace

[Verse 3]
--- POLYPHEMUS *play only bass notes* ---
              Ab EbEb Eb E
You killed my sheep
             Ab B BDb Bb
My favouritе sheep
           Ab      Eb       Eb       Gb    E   
What gives you the right to deal a pain so deep
          Ab        B          B    Db       Bb   
Don't you know that pain you sow is pain you rеap?

[Chorus 1]
--- POLYPHEMUS ---
        Abm  
Time to drink
                          Gb7  
Your blood over where you stand
                       Emaj7                
Your life now is in my hand, before I'm done
Dbm7                     Eb7           Abm 
You will learn that it's not so fun to take
                       Gb7  
You came to my home to steal
                         Emaj7                  
But now you'll become my meal, a trade, you see?
N.C.
Take from you like you took from me

[Bridge]
--- ODYSSEUS, (POLYPHEMUS) ---
Abm                            
There's been a misunderstanding
Abm                        
We never came here to steal
    E                                    
But now that I see we've done some damage
Dbm7                   Eb7       
Maybe you and I could make a deal
Abm                              
I'll give you our finest treasure
Abm                      
So long as we leave alive
E                                     Dbm7
You can keep the world's best tasting wine
N.C.
(Wine?)

[Chorus 2]
--- ODYSSEUS ---
       Abm  
Have a drink
                   Gb7       
One sip and you'll understand
                         Emaj7                 
The power that's in your hands, a wine so fresh
Dbm7                  Eb7          Abm 
You'd never wanna eat human flesh again
                        Gb7
Then we shall be on our way
                     Emaj7                   
No bloodshed in here today, a trade, you see?
  Eb7                             
A gift from you and a gift from me

[Outro]
--- ODYSSEUS, (POLYPHEMUS) ---
Abm    Gb7             Emaj7      
(*gulp* Ah, I'd like to thank you)
N.C.
(Stranger, what's your name?)
           Abm     Gb7   
My name is Nobody, Nobody
Emaj7   N.C.
Nobody (Nobody)
Emaj7               Gb           
(For your gift I've one to reply)
Ebm                Eb7       
I'm so glad we see eye to eye
      Emaj7            Gb    Eb7    Abm  
(Yes, you shall be the final man to die!)
N.C.
What? Watch out!
