Gordon Lightfoot — The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
CAPO: 6th Fret
(INTRO:) C
(VERSE 1:)
GC
The first time ever I saw your face
EmDmC
I thought the sun rose in your eyes___
FCG
And the moon and stars were the gift you gave
BbFC
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
BbFCCb
To the dark and the empty skies
(VERSE 2:)
GC
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
EmDmC
I felt the earth turn in my hand____
FCG
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
BbFC
That was there, at my command, my love
BbFCCb
That was there, at my command
(VERSE 3:)
GC
The first time ever I lay with you
EmDmC
And felt your heart beat close to mine____
FCG
I thought our joy would fill the earth
BbFC
And would last 'til the end of time, my love
BbFCCb
And last 'til the end of time
(VERSE 4:)
GC
The first time ever I saw your face
EmDmC
I thought the sun rose in your eyes____
FCG
And the moon and stars were the gift you gave
BbFC
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
BbFCBFG
To the dark and the empty skies
