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