Song Name: Original Sin Artist: Meat Loaf Authour: Jim Steinman Album: Welcome To The Neighbourhood (Meat Loaf) Tabbed by: Alex (taekwondoalex at gmail dot com - please email me with any errors, or comments (please do) ) Tuning: Standard E A D G B E Notes: This version is in a different key to the original version, it is one tone higher. So if wish to play along to the Pandora's Box version then play down a tone (e.g. Cm = Bm. Fm=Em etc) I play this song mostly in bar chord or power chord shapes, in the chorus where it says Eb I suggest you play Eb5 (root note 6th fret A string) and for G play G5 (root note 10th fret A string) etc.. The rhythm for the "Cm / Gm(C bass) rhythm starts" section I play by playing C5 (full x355xx shape) and then lifting off the 5 so that it's basically x33333 for a quick strum.

^FmYou can dance forever, you've got a fire in your feet But will it ever be ^Cmenough, you know that it will never be enough. ^FmYou can fly to never land, and never need to sleep. But will it ^Cmever be enough, you know it'll never be enough.

^FAll I wanted was a ^Bbpiece of the night. ^C ^FI never got an eq^Cual s^Dmhare, when the stars are out of ^Gmsight. And the mo^Con is down - The natives^Eb are so re^Gstless tonight.

N.C. I've been looking for an original sin, one with a twist and a bit of a spin. And since I've done all of the old ones till they've all been done in. Now I'm just looking - for an original sin.

^CmI've been l^Gmooking for the u^Fmltimate crime, i^Cmnfinit^Fme victims, infinitesimal time - And I'm so^Cm very gu^Gmilty for no r^Fmeson or rhyme. N^Ebow I'm just looking, and I'm ^Ckilling some ^Fmtime - endlessly^Cm searching for the^Gm ultimate ^Cmcrime.

*NOTE: This guitar solo pretty much follows the melody but there are a few moments where note is sustained and the lyrics continue to be sung; I have tried to tab it out to match up with the lyric line. e|-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| B|-8---8----8--6---6-------------------|------------------------8-----8--9---| G|----------------------8--7--8-10--7--|-5---7---8---10---8--10----10--------| D|-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|

^FmNow i'm just ^Eblooking then i'm g^Cone with the^Fm wind Endlessly ^Cmsearching, for an ^Gmoriginal ^Cmsin

^CmI'm applying for a l^Gmicense to thrill, going ^Fmout on the edge - Moving i^Cmn for the ^Fmkill, and they'll be ^Cmhell to pay someday, put it a^Gmll on the bill. Cause we'll ^Fmalways be ^Ebpaying! And p^Caying u^Fmntil - We're beyond ex^Cmpiration. With a l^Gmicense to t^Cmhrill.
