The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 6th Fret
(INTRO:) C
(VERSE 1:)
The first [G]time ever I saw your [C]face
I thought the sun rose in your[Em] eyes[Dm]___[C]
And the moon and [F]stars[C] were the gift you [G]gave
To the [Bb]dark and the [F]empty [C]skies, my love
To the [Bb]dark and the [F]empty [C]skies[Bb] [F] [G] [C]
(VERSE 2:)
The first [G]time ever I kissed your [C]mouth
I felt the earth turn in my [Em]hand_[Dm]___[C]
Like the trembling[F] heart[C] of a captive [G]bird
That was [Bb]there, at [F]my com[C]mand, my love
That was [Bb]there, at [F]my com[C]mand[Bb] [F] [G] [C]
(VERSE 3:)
The first [G]time ever I lay with [C]you
And felt your heart beat close to [Em]mine_[Dm]___[C]
I thought our [F]joy[C] would fill the [G]earth
And would [Bb]last 'til the [F]end of [C]time, my love
And [Bb]last 'til the [F]end of [C]time[Bb] [F] [G] [C]
(VERSE 4:)
The first [G]time ever I saw your [C]face
I thought the sun rose in your [Em]eyes_[Dm]___[C]
And the moon and [F]stars[C] were the gift you [G]gave
To the [Bb]dark and the [F]empty [C]skies, my love
To the [Bb]dark and the [F]empty [C]skies [Bb] [F] [G]
