The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face
Ewan MacColl

(G)The (D7)first time ever I(G) saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your (Em7)eyes(D7)
And the (G)moon and the (D7)stars are the (G)gifts you gave
To the (F)dark and the empty sky - my (G)love
To the (F)dark and the empty sky(G)

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 kthought our joy would fill the earth
And last 'till the end of time - my love
