Intro: F

           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
