               C       C/Bb   Am        F  
The first time ever I saw your face  
                        Dm                       Am  Bb 
I thought the sun rose in your eyes 
                                 C                    F 
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave 
             Eb                           F      
To the dark and the empty skies  
                             Eb                           F 
My love to the dark and the empty skies 
               C       C/Bb   Am7        F        
The first time ever I kissed your mouth  
                        Dm                       Am  Bb 
I felt the earth move in my hands 
                                 C                    F 
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird 
                 Eb                  F                       
That was there at my command my love  
                 Eb                   F 
That was there at my command 
               C       C/Bb   Am        F 
Hoa, hoa, hoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
                 Dm               Am  Bb 
Who, oh, oh, oh, hoa, hoa, hoa 
             C                        F 
Oh, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa 
               C       C/Bb   Am7        F          
The first time ever I kissed your mouth 
                      Dm                       Am  Bb 
I felt the earth move in my hands 
                                 C                    F 
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird 
                 Eb                  F                       
That was there at my command my love  
                    Eb                   F 
That was there at my command 
               C       C/Bb   Am        F 
Hoa, hoa, hoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
                 Dm               Am  Bb 
Who, oh, oh, oh, hoa, hoa, hoa 
             C                        F 
Oh, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa 
                 Eb                  F                       
That was there at my command my love 
                    Eb                   F 
That was there at my command
