NELSON WILLIE - "most unoriginal sin" Tablature

From: Member2945@aol.com

"The Most Unoriginal Sin" by John Hiatt (as performed by Willie Nelson on
"Across the Borderline" CD).

D A
What there was left of us
D
Was all covered in dust and thick skin
A
A half eaten apple

Or the whole Sistine Chapel
D
Painted on the head of a pin
G
A life long love's worth

Gone up in a smurk
D
And you didn't even see her waltz in
G
Now this love is a ghost

Having played host
D
To the most unoriginal sin


A
At the wedding we smiled
D
While some devil played wild violin
A
Soon after the chapel

She offered me that apple
D
One bite and I was gone with the wind
G
And you needed no proof

Cause the whole naked truth
D
Was wearing only an infidel's grin
A
And a proud schoolboy's boast

Of having left his post
D
For the most unoriginal sin

INSTRUMENTAL D/G/D/A/D x2

A
Now the jukebox is humming
D
All the venial shortcomings of men
A
Lord I found me this drink

That can finally sink
D
All the skills that I've been wallowing in
G
Buddy once you get started

Once true love's departed
D
You do it over and over again
A
So tonight I will toast

Just whoever comes close
D
To the most unoriginal sin.
