	 D
When the earth ..
	D/B
And the clouds ..
	Aadd9
And mountains...
G
   Sometimes ...
G
Folks roamed ...
 	 D
They had two sets ...
          F#m                     G
They had two ...
              Em
So they could ....
A
As they talked; ...
	  G           A         D
And they never knew nothing of love.
	      G     A
It was before         the origin of love.
             D        G     D        G
The origin of love
		Bm
And there were three ...
		   D
Glued up back to back,
			   G
Called the children of the ...
    D
And similar in...

                          D
They looked like two girls
		G
Rolled up in one.
         A
And the children ...
             Bm
Were like a fork...
           C#m
They were part ...
                         A
Part daughter, part son.

    D              G             D         G
The origin of love

        D
Now the gods...
        D/B
Of our strength...
               G
And Thor said,
G
"I'm ...
G
With my hammer,
G
Like ...
G
And...

       D
Use my lightening...
        F#m
Then he grabbed .
       G
And he let ...
                       Em
Said, "I'll split them right ...
                A
Gonna cut them right ...
          G           A               D
And then storm clouds   gathered above
                        G
Into great balls of fire


          Bm
And then fire...
           G
Of a knife.
           Bm
And it ripped
         G
And the earth.
           Bm
And some Indian god
        G
To remind ...
    Bm
And Osiris ...
                  G
Gathered up a big storm
               Em
To blow a hurricane,
           Bm
To scatter us away,
                       G
In a flood of wind and rain,
                    Em
And a sea of tidal waves,
                 Bm
To wash us all away,
                 G
And if we don't behave
                  Em
They'll cut us down again
              Ab               G
And we'll be hopping round on one foot
D                               G
   And looking through one eye.

D
Last...
       Bm
We had just...
         G
You were looking...
      A
I was looking...
          D
You had a way...
      Bm
But I could...
               G
Cause you had blood...
        A
I had blood...
             D
But I could swear...
           Bm
That the pain...
         G           A
Was the same as the one...
           D
That's the pain,
        Bm
Cuts a straight line
                   G
Down through the heart;
               A
We called it love.
                  D
So we wrapped our arms...
                     Bm
Trying to shove ourselves...
               G
We were making love,
A
Making love.
         D
It was a cold...
         Bm
Such a long time ago,
            G               A
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
            D
It was the sad story
         Bm
How we became
                      G
Lonely two-legged creatures,
                 A
It's the story of
                D          G
The origin of love.
                       D             G
That's the origin of love.
