_ _ _ _ _ First girl I [Gm] loved.
[F] Time has come I will sing you this sad goodbye [E] _ _ [C] song.
When I was seventeen, [C#] _ _ _ [G] I used to know you. _ _ _ _ _ _
I haven't seen you now since many's [Gm] the short year.
And the [F] last time I seen you you [G] said you joined the [E] church of Jesus.
[C] But me I remember your [C#] long red hair.
[G] Falling in our faces as I kissed you. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I want [D] you to know I just had to go.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ I want you to know I just had to grow.
_ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ _ [G] And you're [D] probably _ [C] married [G] now.
[A] House and car and [D] all.
_ _ [G] You're turned _
_ [D#] into a [C] grown up female [C#] _ stranger.
[G] And if I was lying [D] near you now, I wouldn't be here at [G] all. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
We _ parted so [Gm] hard. _
[G] Me rushing round Britain [E] with a _ guitar.
[G] And making [C] love to [C#] people I _ [G] didn't even like to see. _
_ _ _ _ _ I would think of [Gm] you.
_ [F] And I mean in the sick [E] sad _ morning.
[C] And in the lonely [C#] midnight.
_ [G] Try to hold your face before me. _ _ _ _ _
_ I want you to know I just had to go.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _
I want you to know I just had to grow.
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
You're [D] probably _ [C] married [G] now.
[A] Kids _ and [D] all. _ _
[G] You're turned _ [D#] into _ a [C] grown up female [C#] _ stranger.
And [G] if I was lying near you [D] now, I'd just have to [G] fall. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well I never _ _ [Gm] slept with you.
[G] Though we must have made love [E] a thousand _ [C] times.
We were [C#] just young.
[G] Didn't have no place to go. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
But in the [Gm] white hills.
And [F] beside many a [E] long _ water.
[C] You have gathered flowers.
[C#] _ _
[G] And they do not smell for me. _ _
_ _ _ _ I want you to know I just had to go.
[D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ I want you to know I just had to grow.
_ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ So it's _ [D] goodbye [C] _
[G] first love.
[A] And I hope you're [D] fine.
_ I [G] have a sweet [D#]
woman.
Maybe [C] someday to bear babies [C#] by me.
She is pretty.
[G] _ _ _ [D]
She's a true friend of [G] mine. _ _ _ _
