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