(A7sus4)The first (Em)-(A)time ever I (D)saw your face

To the (C)dark (G)and the empty (D)skies, my love
To the (C)dark (G)and empty (D)skies
(D)-(Asus4)-(D) [Two times]

(A7sus4)The first (Em)-(A)time ever I (D)held You near
I felt the earth move in my (F#m)-(Em)hands

You were (C)there (G)at my com(D)mand, my love
You were (C)there (G)at my com(D)mand

(A7sus4)The first (Em)-(A)time ever I (D)lay with You

And would (C)last (G)'til the end of (D)time, my love
And would (C)last (G)'til the end of (D)time
