The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[INTRO]
[C] - [Dm] - [G]

[VERSE 1]
The f[Dm]irst time[G] ever I s[C]aw your face,
[Am7]I thought the sun rose[Em7] in your e[F]yes,
[C]And the moon and stars[G] were the gi[G]fts you gave,
To the d[Bb]ark and the endless s[C]ky, my love,

[VERSE 2]
And the f[Dm]irst time [G]ever I ki[C]ssed your mouth,
[Am7]I felt the earth move[Em7] through my h[F]ands,
[C]Like the trembling heart[G] of a captive b[C]ird
That was th[Bb]ere at my command,

[VERSE 3]
And the f[Dm]irst time [G]ever I l[C]ay with you,
[Am7]I felt your heart[Em7] so close to m[F]ine,
And I kn[C]ow our joy[G] would f[C]ill the earth,
And l[Bb]ast till the end of ti[C]me, my love,
[Dm]The first time ever I s[C]aw y[Dm]our-
, [G] -
f[C]ace,
