ORIGINAL SIN Elton John
Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
C Dm7 C C G
C Dm7 C C G
[Verse 1]
C
Oh, it's carnival night
F G Gsus4 G
And they're stringing the lights around you
Am
Hanging paper angels
Dm7 G Gsus4 G
Painting little devils on the roof
C
Oh the furnace wind
F G Gsus4 G
Is a flickering of wings about your face
Am
In a cloud of incense
Dm7 G
Yeah, it smells like Heaven in this place
[Bridge]
F
I can't eat, can't sleep
G Em
Still I hunger for you when you look at me
F
That face, those eyes
G
All the sinful pleasures deep inside
[Chorus]
C G Am Em
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
F
Underneath my skin,
G C
Oh you were always my original sin
C G Am Em
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
F
This dangerous game
G C Dm7 C C G
Oh you were always my original sin
C Dm7 C C G
[Verse 2]
C
A dream will fly
F G Gsus4 G
The moment that you open up your eyes
Am
A dream is just a riddle
Dm7 G Gsus4 G
Ghosts from every corner of your life
C
Up in the balcony
F G Gsus4 G
All the Romeos are bleeding for your hand
Am
Blowing theater kisses
Dm7 G
Reciting lines they don't understand
[Bridge]
F
I can't eat, can't sleep
G Em
Still I hunger for you when you look at me
F
That face, those eyes
G
All the sinful pleasures deep inside
[Chorus]
C G Am Em
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
F
Underneath my skin,
G C
Oh you were always my original sin
C G Am Em
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
F
This dangerous game
G Am G
Oh you were always my original sin
C G Am Em
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
F
Underneath my skin,
G C
Oh you were always my original sin
C G Am Em
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
F
This dangerous game
G Am Dm7 C C G
Oh you were always my original sin
[Outro]
C Dm7 C C G
