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