Sometimes ...

Folks roamed ...

They had two sets ...

As they talked; ...
G A D
And they never knew nothing of love.

It was before the origin of love.

The origin of love

And there were three ...

Glued up back to back,

Called the children of the ...

Part daughter, part son.

And some Indian god

To remind ...

And Osiris ...
G
Gathered up a big storm
Em
To blow a hurricane,
Bm
To scatter us away,
G
In a flood of wind and rain,
Em
And a sea of tidal waves,
Bm
To wash us all away,
G
And if we don't behave
Em
They'll cut us down again
Ab G
And we'll be hopping round on one foot
D G
And looking through one eye.

We had just...
G
You were looking...

I was looking...

You had a way...

But I could...

Cause you had blood...

I had blood...

But I could swear...

That the pain...
G A
Was the same as the one...
D
That's the pain,
Bm
Cuts a straight line
G
Down through the heart;
A
We called it love.
D
So we wrapped our arms...
Bm
Trying to shove ourselves...
G
We were making love,
A
Making love.
D
It was a cold...
Bm
Such a long time ago,
G A
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
D
It was the sad story
Bm
How we became
G
Lonely two-legged creatures,
A
It's the story of
D G
The origin of love.
D G
That's the origin of love.
Tabbed by Mark Cunningham
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
