The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

E

[Verse]
          F#m  B               E
The first time ever I saw your face
              A   G#m  B       F#m    B7
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
                     E    F#m7                E
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
       G   A              E
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
       G   A              E
To the dark and the empty skies

[Verse]
          F#m  B                  E
The first time ever I kissed your lips
           A     G#m  B     F#m    B7
I felt the earth move in my arms
                   E    F#m7          E
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
         G    A         E
That was there at my command, my love
         G    A         E     F#m  B7  E
That was there at my command

[Verse]
          F#m  B               E
The first time ever I lay with you
            A     G#m B         F#m    B7
I felt your heart beat close to mine
         E  F#m7         E
I felt a joy to fill the earth
          G   A                E
And would last 'til the end of time, my love
          G   A                E
And would last 'til the end of time
