The First Time I Ever
Saw Your Face Ewan MacColl, Peggy Seeger, Roberta Flack*, Johnny Cash* The (Dm)first time (G)ever I(C) saw your face (Am) I thought the sun rose (Em7)in your eye(F)s And the (C)moon and the stars(G) were the (C)gifts you gave To the (Bb)dark and the endless (C)sky - my love To the (Bb)dark and the endless (C)sky The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth turn in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command - my love The first time ever I lay with you And felt your heart beat close to mine I knew our joy would fill the earth And would last 'till the end of time - my love * This version is close to the ones recorded by R. Flack orJ. Cash all versions differ a bit, my fovorite version is by Peggy Seeger. alles-uke.de |
