     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
