Tono: G

Introducción:

G  
  Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs
                          D                                              D2  D  
They had two sets of arms, they had two sets of legs
                                                D  
They had two faces peering out of one giant head
                                                                  D  
So they could watch all around them
                        A  
As they talked while they read
                             G                         A                      D  
And they never knew nothing of love
                                  G      A                                         D            G  
It was before            the origin of love
                                          D         G  
The origin of love
                                                Bm  
And there were three sexes then, one of them looked like two men glued up back to back
        D                                                                 G  
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 stuck on a spoon
                                C#m  
They were part sun part earth
                     Bm                         A  
Part daughter part son
D              G                                                      D  G  
Oh, oh, oh, the origin of love
Now the gods grew quite scared of our strengh and defiance and Thor said I'm gonna
                G  
you'd better let me
                     G  
Use my lightning like scissors
                                          D                                            D2  D  
Like I cut the legs off the whales, dinosaurs and the lizards"
                                                                D  
Then he grabbed up some bolts
                  D  
And he let out a laugh
                                                                Em  
Said, "I'll split them right dowm the middle
                                        A  
Gonna cut 'em right up in half."
                        G                         A                              D  
And the 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 to a hole
                                                                                                G  
Pulled it around to our belly to remind us the price we paid
                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
D  
Last time I saw you
                Bm  
We'd just split in two
                          G  
You were looking at me
                  A  
I was looking at you
                                        D  
And you had a way so familiar
        Bm  
I could not recognize
                                  G  
Cuz you had blood on your face
                  A  
I had blood in my eyes
                  D  
But I swear by your expression
                          Bm  
That the pain down in your soul
                        G                                                            A  
Was the same as the one down in mine
                                D  
That's the pain
                                  Bm                                                                            G  
That cuts a straight line down through the heart
                                A  
We call it love
                                          D  
We wrapped our arms 'round each other
                                          Bm  
Tried to shove ourselves back together
                                          G                                    A  
We were making love      making love
                          D                                                              Bm  
It was a cold dark evening such a long time ago
                                  G                                    A  
When by the mighty hand of Jove
                          D                                                            Bm  
It was a sad story how we became lonely two-legged creatures
             G                                                            A  
The story of the origin of love
                                                          D            G         D         G  
D  
That's the origin of love
