The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

[Verse]
          F#m  B               E
The first time ever I saw your face
              A   G#m  B       
I thought the sun rose in your 
F#m    B7
eyes
                     E    F#m7    
And the moon and the stars were 
            E
the gifts you gave
       G   A              E
To the dark and the empty skies, my 
love
       G   A              E
To the dark and the empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your

lips
           A     G#m  B     F#m  
I felt the earth move in my arms

                   E    F#m7
Like the trembling heart of a 
          E
captive bird
         G    A         E
That was there at my command, my 
love
         G    A         E     F#m
That was there at my command

          F#m  B               E
The first time ever I lay with you
            A     G#m B         
I felt your heart beat close to 
F#m    B7
mine
         E  F#m7         E
I felt a joy to fill the earth
          G   A                E
And would last 'til the end of time,
 my love
          G   A                E
And would last 'til the end of time
