Gordon Lightfoot - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face


CAPO: 6th Fret



INTRO:: C

VERSE 1::
          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

VERSE 2::
          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


VERSE 3::
          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


VERSE 4::
          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
