Elton John, Original Sin (2001)
Key: :[B] (w: Bernie Taupin, Elton John)
INTRO: [E] [A/E] [E] [B] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
Oh, it's
[E] carnival night, and they're
[A/E] stringing the
[E] lights around
[B] you
Hanging paper
[Dbm] angels, painting
[A] little devils on the
[B] roof
Oh, the
[E] furnace wind, is a
[A/E] flickering of
[E] wings a-
[B]-bout your face
In a cloud of
[Dbm] incense, yeah, it
[A] smells like heaven in this
[B] place
PRE-CHORUS:
I can't
[A] eat, can't sleep; Still I hunger
[B] for you when you look at
[G#m] me
That
[A] face, those eyes, all the
[B] sinful pleasures deep inside
CHORUS:
Tell me
[E] how, you know
[B] now, the ways and
[Dbm] means of getting
[G#m] in
Underneath my
[A] skin, Oh, you were
[B] always my original
[E] sin
And tell me
[E] why, I shudder in-
[B]-side, every
[Dbm] time we be-
[G#m]-gin
This dangerous
[A] game, Oh, you were
[B] always my original
[Dbm] sin
[A] [E] [B] [E] [A] [E] [B]
VERSE 2:
A dream will
[E] fly, the
[A/E] moment that you open up
[B] your eyes
A dream is just a
[Dbm] riddle, ghost from
[A] every corner of your
[B] life
Up in the
[E] balcony, all the
[A/E] Romeo's are bleeding for
[B] your hand
blowing theater
[Dbm] kisses, reciting
[A] lines they don't under-
[B]-stand
