Verse:

     D MajorD
When the earth was still flat
     D/B
And the clouds made of fire
    G+G
And mountains stretched up to the sky
G+G
 Sometimes higher
G+G
 Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs
     D MajorD
They had two sets of arms, they had two sets of legs
     F# minorF#m
They had two faces peering out of one giant head
       E minorEm
So they could watch all around them
A augmentedA
As they talked while they read
      G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD
And they never knew nothing of love
       G+G  A augmentedA        D MajorD   G+G
It was before   the origin of love
        D MajorD  G+G
The origin of love

Chorus:

         B minorBm
And there were three sexes then,

one of them looked like two men glued up
        D MajorD
back to back
              G+G
Called the children of the sun
      B minorBm
And similar in shape and girth were the children of the earth
        D MajorD            G+G
They looked like two girls rolled up in one
      A augmentedA
And the children of the moon
        B minorBm
Were like a fork stuck on a spoon
        C# minorC#m
They were part sun part earth
          A augmentedA
Part daughter part son

   D MajorD      G+G   D MajorD  G+G
The origin of love


Verse:

     D MajorD
Now the gods grew quite scared
    D/B
Of our strength and defiance
       G+G
And Thor said, "I'm gonna kill 'em all with my hammer
Like I killed the giants."
             G+G
And Zeus said, "No, you'd better let me

Use my lightning like scissors
          D MajorD
Like I cut the legs off the whales, dinosaurs and the lizards
    F# minorF#m
Then he grabbed up some bolts
    G+G
And he let out a laugh
            E minorEm
Said, "I'll split them right dowm the middle
        A augmentedA
Gonna cut 'em right up in half."
      G+G    A augmentedA        D MajorD
And the storm clouds gathered above
           G+G
Into great balls of fire


Chorus:

      B minorBm
And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts
G+G
Like shining blades of a knife
     B minorBm
And it ripped right through the flesh
             G+G
Of the children of the sun and the moon and the earth
         B minorBm
And some indian god sewed the wound up to a hole
                  G+G
Pulled it around to our belly to remind us the price we paid
   B minorBm
And Osiris and the gods of the nile
            G+G
Gathered up a big storm
        E minorEm
To blow a hurricane
        B minorBm
To scatter us away
            G+G
In a flood of wind and rain
          E minorEm
And a sea of tidal waves
          B minorBm
To wash us all away
         G+G
And if we don't behave
           E minorEm
They'll cut us down again
       AbAb        G+G
And we'll be hopping 'round on one foot
D MajorD             G+G
and looking through one eye


D MajorD
Last time I saw you
   B minorBm
We'd just split in two
     G+G
You were looking at me
    A augmentedA
I was looking at you
        D MajorD
And you had a way so familiar
  B minorBm
I could not recognize
       G+G
Cuz you had blood on your face
    A augmentedA
I had blood in my eyes
    D MajorD
But I swear by your expression
     B minorBm
That the pain down in your soul
     G+G            A augmentedA
Was the same as the one down in mine
      D MajorD
That's the pain
       B minorBm               G+G
That cuts a straight line down through the heart
      A augmentedA
We call it love
        D MajorD
We wrapped our arms 'round each other
        B minorBm
Tried to shove ourselves back together
        G+G       A augmentedA
We were making love  making love
     D MajorD            B minorBm
It was a cold dark evening such a long time ago
       G+G       A augmentedA
When by the mighty hand of Jove
     D MajorD            B minorBm
It was a sad story how we became lonely two-legged creatures
   G+G            A augmentedA
The story of the origin of love
           D MajorD   G+G  D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD  G+G
That's the origin of love
