Start Jamming...
[E] The first [D] time [G] ever I saw your face I
[Em] thought the sun [Bm] rose in your
[C] eyes
And [G] the moon [D] and stars were [G] the gifts you gave
To [F] the dawn and the [G] endless skies, my love
To [Dm] the dawn and the [G] endless skies
[A] And the first time [D] ever [G] I kissed your mouth
[Em] I felt the earth
[Bm] move in my hand
[C]
Like [G] the trembling heart of a captive bird
That [F] was there at my [G] command, my love
That [Dm] was there at my [G] command
And [Bb]
the first time [Ab] ever I lay with you
[Fm] I felt your heart [Cm] beat close to
[Db] mine
[Ab] And I knew the joy would fill the earth
[Gb] And will last till the [Ab] end of time, my love
It [Ebm] will last till the [Ab] end of time
[Bbm] The first [Eb] time [Ab] ever I [Eb] saw [Db]
[Ab] your face
Your face
Your face
