The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face(Keyboard chords)

	        Tuning: Standard and CAPO on 1rst fret 


C  Dm7  G  (2) 

Dm                G         C            C   G/B   
   The first time   ever I saw your face 
Am                    Em                F 
   I thought the sun rose in your eyes 
            C               G     C 
And the moon and the stars    were the gifts you gave 
   Gm                C 
To the dark and the empty skies. 


Dm                     G          C               C  G/B 
    And the first time   ever I kissed your mouth 
Am                   Em               F 
   I felt the earth move in my hands 
              C          G  C 
Like the trembling heart      of a captive bird 
    Gm              C 
That was there at my command, my love. 


Gm                    C          F           F  C 
   And the first time    ever I lay with you 
Dm                     Am             Bb 
   I felt your heart so close to mine 
          F        C  F 
And I knew our joy     would fill the earth 
Cm                                     F 
  And last and last and last till the end of time my love 
Gm                        C   F          Eb 
   The first time ever I saw   your face,  your face, 
F           Eb           F 
  Your face,   your face
