Misc Originals – Chris Minton - Original Sin (Guitar)

D
I would not be standing here if it weren’t for original sin

D
The apple looked good on the tree and that woman she gave in

G
Well I’ve been giving in myself since the day that I was born

A7                                      G                       D
I don’t care about original sin ‘cause I’ve got plenty of my own

D
Adam looked at Eve and said “my girl what have you done?

D
The taste of that forbidden fruit will linger on your tongue

G
We’ve got to pack our things and go, we ain’t welcome here in Eden anymore

A7                                      G                       D
Now paradise is lost, oh tell me baby why’d you eat that apple for?”

D
Eve she said to Adam “honey please don’t be so mad

D
I know I got us exiled but that apple it weren’t bad”

G
Well I’ve tried forbidden fruit myself so I know where she’s coming from

A7                                      G                       D
I’ve pissed all over paradise doing things better left undone

D
I ain’t passing judgement on the choices that she made

D
‘Cause mister I make bad decisions every single day

G
I’ve poked myself in the eye so many times that I can’t see

A7                                      G                       D
I tried to reach that garden but I got too damn distracted by the weeds

D
The moral of my story, won’t you listen to me please

D
Avoid your selfish nature, don’t be tempted by that tree

G
The heart of man is wicked, full of things like greed and sin

A7                                      G                       D
And the best that we can hope for is not to make the same mistake again
