Intro: F

               C       C/Bb   Am        F
The first time ever I saw your face
                        Dm                       Am Bb
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
                                 C                    F
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
             Eb                           F
To the dark and the empty skies
                             Eb                           F
My love to the dark and the empty skies
               C       C/Bb   Am7        F
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
                        Dm                       Am Bb
I felt the earth move in my hands
                                 C                    F
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
                 Eb                  F
That was there at my command my love
                 Eb                   F
That was there at my command
               C       C/Bb   Am        F
Hoa, hoa, hoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
                 Dm               Am  Bb
Who, oh, oh, oh, hoa, hoa, hoa
             C                        F
Oh, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa
               C       C/Bb   Am7        F
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
                      Dm                       Am  Bb
I felt the earth move in my hands
                                 C                    F
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
                 Eb                  F
That was there at my command my love
                    Eb                   F
That was there at my command
               C       C/Bb   Am        F
Hoa, hoa, hoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
                 Dm               Am  Bb
Who, oh, oh, oh, hoa, hoa, hoa
             C                        F
Oh, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa
                 Eb                  F
That was there at my command my love
                    Eb                   F
That was there at my command
