The First Time Ever I

Roberta Flack
 DmG
The first time       
 C
Ever I saw your face
 AmF
 I thought the sun (Em)rose in your eye--s
And the moon and the (C)stars
were the gifts you gave to the (Bb)dark
 C
and the end of the skies
. . . .
 DmG
The first time  
 C
Ever I kissed your mouth
 AmF
 I felt the earth (Em)move in my ha--nd,
Like a trembling (C)heart
of a captive bird,
 C
that was (Bb)there at my birth.
. . . .
 DmG
And the first time  
 C
Ever I lay with you
 AmF
 I felt your heart (Em)so close to mi--ne
And I knew our (C)joy
would fill the earth
 C
and (Bb)last till the end of time

rollernut (report comment to admin): 
some of chord changes are wrong:



..(F)like a trembling(C)heart

of a captive bird

that was(Bb)there, at my(C)birth.



Good song to play though.
