When the e^Darth was still flat And the c^D/Blouds made of fire And mo^Auntains stretched up to the sky ^GSometimes higher ^GFolks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs They had ^Dtwo sets of arms, they had two sets of legs The had tw^Gbmo faces peering out of one giant head So they coul^Emd watch all around them ^AAs they talked while they read And they ne^Gver knew not^Ahing of l^Dove It was before^G... ^Athe origin of lov^De ^G

The origin of lo^Dve ^G And there were thr^Bmee sexes then, One that looked like two men Glued up back to back, Called^D the child^Gren of the sun. And si^Bmmilar in shape and girth were the children of the earth. They looked like t^Dwo girls rolled up in o^Gne. And the ch^Aildren of the moon Were like a fo^Bmrk shoved on a spoon. They were pa^Dbmrt sun, part earth Part daughter, part son^A.

The ^Dorigin of love^{G D G} Now the g^Dods grew quite scared Of our s^D/Btrength and defiance And Thor s^Gaid, "I'm gonna kill them all ^Gwith my hammer, Like ^GI killed the ^Ggiants." A^Gnd Zeus said, "No,you better let me Use my ^Glightening, like scissors, Like I cut the l^Degs off the whales, dinosaurs and the li^Dzards." Then he gr^F#mabbed up some bolts And he l^Get out a laugh, Said, "I'll split them r^Emight down the middle. Gonna cut 'em ^Aright up in half." And then s^Gtorm clouds^A gathered abov^De Into great balls of fi^Gre

And then fi^Bmre shot down from the sky in bolts Like shining blades of a kn^Gife. And it r^Bmipped right through the flesh Of the children of the sun And the moon And the e^Garth. And some Indian g^Bmod sewed the wound up into a hole Pulled it round to our belly to re^Gmind us of the price we pay. And Os^Bmiris and the gods of the Nile Gathered up a big s^Gtorm To blow a hurri^Emcane, To scatter us a^Bmway, In a flood of wind and r^Gain, And a sea of tidal wav^Emes, To wash us all aw^Bmay, And if we don't be^Ghave They'll cut us down ag^Emain And we'll be ho^Abpping round on one foo^Gt ^DAnd looking through one eye.^G

^DLast time I saw you We had j^Bmust split in two. You were lo^Goking at me. I was lo^Aoking at you. You had a w^Day so familiar, But I co^Bmuld not recognize, 'Cause you had bl^Good on your face; I had ^Ablood in my eyes. But I s^Dwear by your expression That the p^Bmain down in your soul Was the sa^Gme as the one down in m^Aine. That's the p^Dain, Cuts a str^Bmaight line down through the he^Gart; We call it l^Aove. We wrapped our a^Drms around each other, Trying to shove o^Bmurselves back together. We were making lo^Gve, Making lov^Ae. It was a c^Dold dark evening, such a l^Bmong time ago, When by the m^Gighty hand of J^Aove, It was a sad^D story how we became lo^Bmnely two-legged creatures, It's t^Ghe story of the origin of lo^Ave. That's the origin of lo^Dve. ^{G D G D G}
