To remind ...

Gathered up a big storm

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.

Down through the heart;

We were making love,

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.
