Bb             D#     Bb                  D#     Bb
The first love I ever had, the first time I went mad
               Gm                          C       F
The first time I left home, the first time I felt alone
                  D#        Bb                    D#     Bb
The first time my heart was hurt, the first thing I did wrong
             Gm                C              F      Bb
If I had one wish I’d ask to relieve splendor in the grass

The first time I was ever kissed, the very first person I did miss
the first time I said goodbye, the first time I felt I’d die
the first time I felt shame, the first time I was to blame
If I had one wish I’d ask to relieve splendor in the grass

The first time I did see the wonder of the sea
               G#m               C#       F#
The first time I did hold a baby close to me
          E      B                    E      B
The first I held near, the first time I felt tears
             G#m               C#       F#           B
If I had one wish I’d ask to relieve splendor in the grass
