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