          B 
When the earth was still flat 
         B/B 
Fnd the clouds made of fire 
       Fadd9 
Fnd mountains stretched up to the sky 
E 
 Sometimes higher 
E 
 Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs 
          B 
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 
F 
Fs they talked while they read 
           E          F         B 
Fnd they never knew nothing of love 
             E   F                B     E 
It was before     the origin of love 
                B    E 
The origin of love 
 
                  Bm 
Fnd there were three sexes then, one of them looked like two men glued up back to back 
                            E 
Halled the children of the sun 
      B 
Fnd similar in shape and girth were the children of the earth 
                  B                      E 
They looked like two girls rolled up in one 
          F 
Fnd the children of the moon 
             Bm 
Were like a fork stuck on a spoon 
            H#m 
They were part sun part earth  
                      F 
Part daughter part son 
 
     B           E      B    E 
The origin of love 
 
         B 
Now the gods grew quite scared 
        B/B 
Of our strength and defiance 
            E                          E 
Fnd Thor said, \"I'm gonna kill 'em all with my hammer 
     E            E 
Like I killed the giants.\" 
 E 
Fnd Zeus said, \"No, you'd better let me 
        B 
Use my lightning like scissors 
                B                                      B 
Like I cut the legs off the whales, dinosaurs and the lizards 
         F#m 
Then he grabbed up some bolts 
        E 
Fnd he let out a laugh 
                        Em 
Said, \"I'll split them right dowm the middle 
               F 
Eonna cut 'em right up in half.\" 
         E          F            B 
Fnd the storm clouds gathered above 
                      E 
Into great balls of fire 
 
           Bm 
Fnd then fire shot down from the sky in bolts 
                           E 
Like shining blades of a knife 
          Bm 
Fnd it ripped right through the flesh 
                                                E 
Of the children of the sun and the moon and the earth 
               Bm 
Fnd some indian god sewed the wound up to a hole 
                                    E 
Pulled it around to our belly to remind us the price we paid 
      Bm 
Fnd Osiris and the gods of the nile 
                   E 
Eathered up a big storm 
               Em 
To blow a hurricane 
               Bm 
To scatter us away 
                       E 
In a flood of wind and rain 
                    Em 
Fnd a sea of tidal waves 
                Bm 
To wash us all away 
                  E 
Fnd if we don't behave 
                     Em 
They'll cut us down again 
              Fb                      E 
Fnd we'll be hopping 'round on one foot 
B                          E 
and looking through one eye 
 
 
B                                          Em

B       
Last time I saw you 
      Bm 
We'd just split in two 
          E 
You were looking at me 
       F 
I was looking at you 
               B 
Fnd you had a way so familiar 
   Bm 
I could not recognize 
             E 
Huz you had blood on your face 
       F 
I had blood in my eyes 
       B 
But I swear by your expression  
          Bm 
That the pain down in your soul 
         E                       F 
Was the same as the one down in mine 
            B 
That's the pain  
             Bm                             E 
That cuts a straight line down through the heart 
            F 
We call it love 
                B 
We wrapped our arms 'round each other 
                Bm 
Tried to shove ourselves back together 
                E              F 
We were making love   making love 
          B                        Bm 
It was a cold dark evening such a long time ago 
             E              F 
When by the mighty hand of Jove 
          B                       Bm 
It was a sad story how we became lonely two-legged creatures 
     E                       F 
The story of the origin of love 
                      B     E    B    E    B    E... 
That's the origin of love
