The Origin Of Love Acoustic chords

[D] [D/B] [Aadd9] [G] [G/D] Gadd6 [G]

When the e[D]arth was still flat
And the c[D/B]louds made of fire
And mo[Aadd9]untains stretched up to the sky
[G]Sometimes higher
[G]Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs
They had [D]two sets of arms, they had two sets of legs
The had tw[F#m]o faces peering out of one giant head
So they coul[Em]d watch all around them
[A]As they talked while they read
And they ne[G]ver knew not[A]hing of l[D]ove
It was before[G] ... [A]the origin of lov[D]e [G]

The origin of lo[D]ve [G]

And there were thr[Bm]ee sexes then, One that looked like two men Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the s[G]un.
And si[D]milar in shape and girth were the children of the earth.
They looked like t[D]wo girls rolled up in o[G]ne.
And the ch[A]ildren of the moon
Were like a fo[Bm]rk shoved on a spoon.
They were pa[C#m]rt sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son[A] .

The [D]origin of love[G] [D] [G]

Now the g[D]ods grew quite scared
Of our s[D/B]trength and defiance
And Thor s[G]aid, "I'm gonna kill them[G] all with my hammer,
Like [G]I killed the [G]giants."
A[G]nd Zeus said, "No,you better let me
Use my [D]lightening, like scissors,
Like I cut the l[D]egs off the whales, dinosaurs and the li[D]zards."
Then he gr[F#m]abbed up some bolts
And he l[G]et out a laugh,
Said, "I'll split t[Em]hem right down the middle.
Gonna cut 'em [A]right up in half."
And then s[G]torm clouds[A] gathered abov[D]e
Into great balls of fi[G]re

And then fi[Bm]re shot down from the sky in bolts
Like shining blades of a kn[G]ife.
And it r[Bm]ipped right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun And the moon And the e[G]arth.
And some Indian g[Bm]od sewed the wound up into a hole
Pulled it round to our belly to re[G]mind us of the price we pay.
And Os[Bm]iris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big s[G]torm
To blow a hurri[Em]cane,
To scatter us a[Bm]way,
In a flood of wind and r[G]ain,
And a sea of tidal wav[Em]es,
To wash us all aw[Bm]ay,
And if we don't be[G]have
They'll cut us down ag[Em]ain
And we'll be ho[Ab]pping round on one foo[G]t
[D]And looking through one eye.[G]

[D]Last time I saw you
We had j[Bm]ust split in two.
You were lo[G]oking at me.
I was lo[A]oking at you.
You had a w[D]ay so familiar,
But I co[Bm]uld not recognize,
'Cause you had bl[G]ood on your face;
I had [A]blood in my eyes.
But I s[D]wear by your expression
That the p[Bm]ain down in your soul
Was the sa[G]me as the one down in m[A]ine.
That's the p[D]ain,
Cuts a str[Bm]aight line down through the he[G]art;
We call it l[A]ove.
We wrapped our a[D]rms around each other,
Trying to shove o[Bm]urselves back together.
We were making lo[G]ve,
Making lov[A]e.
It was a c[D]old dark evening, such a l[Bm]ong time ago,
When by the m[G]ighty hand of J[A]ove,
It was a sad[D] story how we became lo[Bm]nely two-legged creatures,
It's t[G]he story of the origin of lo[A]ve.
That's the origin of lo[D]ve. [G] [D] [G] [D] [G]
