Key: E

Introduction:

 Em                                                   A                         D 
    The first time ever I saw your face
 Bm                                   F#m                                 G 
    I thought the sun rose in your eyes
                             D                                       A                                 D 
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
                       Am7                                                 D 
To the dark and the endless skies.
 Em                                                                 A                                   D 
      And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
 Bm                                     F#m                         G 
    I felt the earth move in my hands
                           D                           A                             D 
Like the trembling heart       of a captive bird
                               Am7                           D 
That was there at my command, my love.
 Em                                                                       A                   D                               Bm 
          And the first time ever I lay with you
                                     F#m                                       G 
    I felt your heart so close to mine
                     D                                               A                 D 
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
 Am7                                                           D 
    And last till the end of time, my love.
 Em                                                 A               D                     A         D                   C 
  The first time ever I saw your face, your face
 D               Cbar              Dbar 
      Your face,   your face
