THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE (Johnny Cash, cover) [AL#13]

Intro: C(2x) - Dm - G (1 note: x-xx, and so on...)

Dm G C (3-2-0)
The first time...ever I saw your face,
Am7 Em7 F
I thought the sun rose...in your eyes.
C G C
And the moon and stars...were the gifts you gave,

Bb C
To the dark...and the endless sky, my love.

Dm G C (3-2-0)
And the first time...ever I kissed your mouth,
Am7 Em7 F
I felt the earth move...through my hands.
C G C
Like the trembling heart...of a captive bird
Bb C
That was there...at my command.

Dm G C (3-2-0)
And the first time...ever I laid with you,
Am7 Em7 F
I felt your heart...so close to mine.
C G C
And I know our joy...would fill the earth,
Bb C
And last...till the end of time, my love.

Dm Dm C G C
The first time...ever I saw...your...face.



(to my little elf...)
