Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Key: D Difficulty: Intermediate Intro: D D/B Asus4 G/D D When the earth was still flat Bm7 And the clouds made of fire Asus4 And mountains stretched up to the sky G/D Sometimes higher G Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs D They had two sets of arms, they had two sets of legs D/F# G The had two faces peering out of one giant head Em So they could watch all around them A7 As they talked while they read G A D And they never knew nothing of love G A D G It was before... whoa... the origin of love D G The origin of love
Bm And there were three sexes then, one that looked D G Like two men glued up back to back, called the children of the sun. Bm And similar in shape and girth were the children of the earth. D G They looked like... two girls rolled up in one. A And the children of the moon Bm Were like a fork shoved on a spoon. C#m Bm A They were part sun, part earth, part daughter, part son. D G D G Mmmmm... The origin of love D Now the gods grew quite scared Bm7 Of our strength and defiance Asus4 And Thor said, "I'm gonna kill them all with my hammer, G/D Like I killed the giants." G And Zeus said, "No, you better let me Use my lightning like scissors, D Like I cut the legs off the whales, dinosaurs and the lizards." D/F# Then he grabbed up some bolts G And he let out a laugh, Em Said, "I'll split them right down the middle. A7 Gonna cut 'em right up in half." G A D And then storm clouds gathered above G Into great balls of fire Bm G And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts Like shining blades of a knife. Bm And it ripped right through the flesh G Of the children of the sun and the moon and the earth. Bm And some Indian god sewed the wound up into a hole G Pulled it round to our belly to remind us of the price we pay. Bm And Osiris and the gods of the Nile 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. Interlude: D Dsus2 Dsus4 Em G A D Dsus2 Dsus4 Em G A D Last time I saw you Bm7 We had just split in two. G You were looking at me. A I was looking at you. D You had a way so familiar, Bm7 But I could not recognize, G 'Cause you had blood on your face; A I had blood in my eyes. D But I swear by your expression Bm7 That the pain down in your soul G A Was the same as the one down in mine. D That's the pain, Bm7 G Cuts a straight line down through the heart; A We call it love. D We wrapped our arms around each other, Bm7 Trying to shove ourselves back together. G We were making love, A Making love. D Bm7 It was a cold dark evening, such a long time ago, G A When by the mighty hand of Jove, D Bm7 It was a sad story how we became lonely two-legged creatures, G A That story, the origin of love. D G That's the origin of love. (Aw yeah!) D G The origin of love D G The origin of love D G The origin of love
