[Verso 1]

Dm            G       C                    C Em  
The first time ever I saw your face  
Am                   Em                    F  
I thought the sun rose in your eyes  
              Gsus4                                 C  
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave   
          Bb                       C  
to the dark and empty skies, my love  
  

[Verso 2]

 Dm            G       C                    C Em  
The first time ever I kissed your mouth 
Am                   Em                    F  
I felt the earth move in my hand, 
          Gsus4                                 C  
like a trembling heart of a captive bird,  
         Bb                       C  
That was there at my command, my love,  
  

[Verso 3]

Dm            G       C                    C Em  
And the first time ever I lay with you 
 Am                   Em                    F  
I felt your heart so close to mine  
         Gsus4                                 C  
and I knew our joy would fill the earth 
          Bb                       C  
And last till the end of time, my love  


Dm                  G     C       G     C  
The first time ever I saw          your face  
Bb            C                 Bb  
  Your face,   your face  
         C  
Your face...
