D
When the earth was still flat
D/B
And the clouds made of fire
Aadd9
And mountains stretched up to the sky
G
Sometimes higher
G
Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs
D
They had two sets of arms, they had two sets of legs
F#m
They had two faces peering out of one giant head
Em
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
G
Called the children of the sun
D
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
A
Part daughter part son
D G D G
The origin of love
D
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
G G
Like I killed the giants."
G
And Zeus said, "No, you'd better let me
D
Use my lightning like scissors
D D
Like I cut the legs off the whales, dinosaurs and the lizards
F#m
Then he grabbed up some bolts
G
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
And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts
G
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 G...
That's the origin of love
