##song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. ##From: "Rev. Linda Slug" ##MacColl song "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". I only know the Roberta#the words and particularly the chords are completely different from what##


[Dm]The first time[G] ever I [C]saw your face


[Am]I thought the sun rose in your [Em]eyes


And the moon and the [C]stars were the gifts you gave


to the [Bb]dark and the [C]end of the skies


The first time ever I kissed your mouth


I felt the earth move in my hand,


like a trembling heart of a captive bird,


that was there at my birth.


And the first time ever I lay with you


I felt your heart so close to mine


and I knew our joy would fill the earth


and last till the end of time
