Ewan MacColl

The [D] first time [A] ever I [D] saw your face,

I thought the [G] sun rose in your [D] eyes. [A7]

And the moon and the [G] stars were the [D] gifts you gave

To the [C] night and the empty [D] sky, my love.

To the [C] night and the empty [D] sky.

The [D] first time [A] ever I [D] kissed your mouth,

I felt the [G] earth move in my [D] hand, [A7]

Like the trembling [G] heart of a [D] captive bird,

That was [C] there at my [D] command, my love.

That was [C] there at my [D] command.

The [D] first time [A] ever I [D] held you near,

I felt your [G] heart beat close to [D] mine. [A7]

I thought our [G] joy would [D] fill the world,

And would [C] last 'till the end of [D] time, my love.

And it would [C] last 'till the end of [D] time.
