The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
by Ewan MacColl
(D) The first time (A) ever I (D) saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your (F#m) eyes (Em)
(D) And the moon and the (G) stars (D) were the gifts you (A) gave
To the (C) night (G) and the empty (D) skies my love
To the (C) night (G) and the empty (D) skies (C) (G) (D)
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
That was
there at my command
The
first
time ever I lay with you
And felt
your heart beat close to mine
I thought
our joy would fill the earth
And would
last til the end of time my love
And would
last til the end of time
The
first
time ever I saw your face
I thought
the sun rose in your eyes
And the
moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the
night and the empty skies my love
To the
night and the empty skies
