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
[Fm] 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
[Fm] 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
[Cm] 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
[Fm] means of getting
[Cm] 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
[Fm] time we be-
[Cm]-gin
This dangerous
[C#] game, Oh, you were
[D#] always my original
[Fm] 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
[Fm] 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
[Fm] kisses, reciting
[C#] lines they don't under-
[D#]-stand
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS:
