Gordon Lightfoot – The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Guitar)

          G                    C
The first time ever I saw your face 

                              Em   Dm   C
I thought the sun rose in your eyes___

                 F    C                  G
And the moon and stars were the gift you gave 

       Bb           F     C
To the dark and the empty skies, my love 

       Bb           F     C      Bb  F  G     C
To the dark and the empty skies

          G                       C
The first time ever I kissed your mouth 

                            Em   Dm   C
I felt the earth turn in my hand____

                  F     C             G
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird 

         Bb        F     C
That was there, at my command, my love 

         Bb        F     C      Bb  F  G     C
That was there, at my command

          G                    C
The first time ever I lay with you 

                                  Em   Dm   C
And felt your heart beat close to mine____

              F  C               G
I thought our joy would fill the earth 

          Bb            F      C
And would last 'til the end of time, my love 

    Bb            F      C      Bb  F  G    C
And last 'til the end of time

          G                    C
The first time ever I saw your face 

                               Em   Dm   C
I thought the sun rose in your eyes____

                 F    C                  G
And the moon and stars were the gift you gave 

       Bb           F     C
To the dark and the empty skies, my love 

       Bb           F     C      Bb  F  G
To the dark and the empty skies
