THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE
JOHNNY CASH
ALBUM: AMERICAN IV: THE MAN COMES AROUND

INTRO: C Dm G

    Dm        G        C
The first time, ever I saw your face
Am7                   Em7       F
I thought the sun rose, in your eyes
        Dm                G          C
And the moon and the stars, were the gifts you gave
       Bb                    C
To the dark, and the endless sky, my love


And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the Earth move, through my hands
Like the trembling heart, of a captive bird
That was there, at my command

And the first time, ever I lay with you
I felt your heart, so close to mine
And I know our joy, would fill the Earth
And last, till the end of time, my love

          Dm   G       C  Dm G  C
The first time, ever I saw your face
