Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Oh, it's carnival  night,
 and they're stringing  the lights around  you,
 hanging paper angels.
 Painting little  devils on the roof.
 Oh, the furnace  wind,
 is a flickering  of wings about your face,
 in a cloud of incense.
 Yea, it smells  like heaven in this place.
 I can't eat,  can't sleep.
 Still I hunger for  you when you look at me.
 That face,  those eyes,
 all the sinful  pleasures deep inside.
 Tell me how,  you know now,  the ways and means  of getting in,
 underneath my skin.
 Oh, you were always  my original sin.
 And tell me why,  I shudder inside,  every time  we begin,
 this dangerous game.
 Oh, you were always  my original sin.
 A dream will fly,
 the moment  that you open up  your eyes.
 A dream is just a riddle,
 ghost from every  corner of your life.
 Up in the balcony,
 all the Romeo's  are bleeding for  your hand,
 blowing theater kisses,
 reciting lines  they don't understand.
 I can't eat,  can't sleep.
 Still I hunger for  you when you look at me.
 That face,  those eyes,
 all the sinful  pleasures deep inside.
 Tell me how,  you know now,  the ways and means  of getting in,
 underneath my skin.
 Oh, you were always  my original sin.
 And tell me why,  I shudder inside,  every time  we begin,
 this dangerous game.
 Oh, you were always  my original sin.
 Tell me how,  you know now,  the ways and means  of getting in,
 underneath my skin.
 Oh, you were always  my original sin.
 And tell me why,  I shudder inside,  every time  we begin,
 this dangerous game.
 Oh, you were always  my original sin.
 These are the first chords that I put on this web site.
 Please note that sir Elton John is playin' it a little different, but this way you can
 it a lot easier and have a lots of fun!!!
