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.

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.

Cm (x3101x@1)	   Gm (355333@1)            Fm (133111@1)          Cm (x3101x@1) FmI've (133111@1)been looking for the ultimate crime, infinite victims, infinitesimal time -
          Cm (x3101x@1)	Gm (355333@1)         Fm (133111@1)            EbAnd (x43121@3)I'm so very guilty for no reson or rhyme. Now I'm just looking,
        C (x32010@1)          Fm (133111@1)            Cm (x3101x@1)              Gm (355333@1)      Cmand (x3101x@1)I'm killing some time - endlessly searching for the ultimate crime.

*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.
