Origin Of Love Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 When the eDarth was still flat

 And the cD/Blouds made of fire

 And mouAadd9ntains stretched up to the sky

G Sometimes higher

G Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs

 They had tDwo sets of arms, they had two sets of legs

 They had tF♯mwo faces peering out of one giant head

 So they couldEm watch all around them

AAs they talked while they read

 And they neGver knew noAthing of lDove

 It was beforeG A the origin of loDve G

 The origin of loDve G

 And there were thrBmee sexes then, one of them looked like two men glued up back to back

 Called the children of the sGun

 And siDmilar in shape and girth were the children of the earth

 They looked like tDwo girls rolled up in oGne

 And the chAildren of the moon

 Were like a fBmork stuck on a spoon

 They were paC♯mrt sun part earth

 Part daughter part sonA

 The oDrigin of lovGe D G

 Now the gDods grew quite scared

 Of our sD/Btrength and defiance

 And Thor saiGd, "I'm gonna kill 'em all Gwith my hammer

 Like GI killed the Ggiants."

 AGnd Zeus said, "No, you'd better let me

 Use my lDightning like scissors

 Like I cut the lDegs off the whales, dinosaurs and the lDizards

 Then he gF♯mrabbed up some bolts

 And he lGet out a laugh

 Said, "I'll split them rEmight dowm the middle

 Gonna cut 'em rAight up in half."

 And the sGtorm cloudsA gathered aboDve

 Into great balls of fiGre

 And then fiBmre shot down from the sky in bolts

 Like shining blades of a knGife

 And it ripBmped right through the flesh

 Of the children of the sun and the moon and the Gearth

 And some indianBm god sewed the wound up to a hole

 Pulled it around to our belly to remGind us the price we paid

 And OsBmiris and the gods of the nile

 Gathered up a big sGtorm

 To blow a hurriEmcane

 To scatter us aBmway

 In a flood of wind and Grain

 And a sea of tidal wEmaves

 To wash us all aBmway

 And if we don't beGhave

 They'll cut us down aEmgain

 And we'll be hG♯opping 'round on one fooGt

Dand looking through one eyeG

DLast time I saw you

 We'd jBmust split in two

 You were lGooking at me

 I was lAooking at you

 And you had a wDay so familiar

 I cBmould not recognize

 Cuz you had bGlood on your face

 I had bAlood in my eyes

 But I sDwear by your expression

 That the pBmain down in your soul

 Was the sGame as the one down in mAine

 That's the pDain

 That cuts a sBmtraight line down through the hGeart

 We call it lAove

 We wrapped our aDrms 'round each other

 Tried to shove oBmurselves back together

 We were making lGove making loAve

 It was a cDold dark evening such a lBmong time ago

 When by the mGighty hand of JAove

 It was a sDad story how we became lBmonely two-legged creatures

 The sGtory of the origin of loAve

 That's the origin of lDove G D G D G
