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
