The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

A E A F#m C#m7 D E A

[Verse 1]
          E  E7       A
The first time ever I saw your face
              F#m              C#m7  D
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
                 E               A
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
       G                  A
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
       G                  A
To the dark and the empty skies

[Verse 2]
          E  E7       A
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
           F#m              C#m7  D
I felt the earth move in my hand
                   E          A
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
         G               A
That was there at my command, my love
         G               A
That was there at my command

[Verse 3]
          E E7        A

The first time ever I held you near
              F#m                 C#m7  D
And felt your heart beat close to mine
              E         A
I thought our joy would fill the world
          G                    A
And would last 'til the end of time, my love
          G                    A
And would last 'til the end of time
