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
