Start Jamming...
The [C] first time
[C] ever I [Am] saw your [F] face
I thought the [Dm] sun rose [Am] in your [Bb] eyes
And the moon and [C] stars were [F] the gifts you gave to [Eb] the dark
And [F] the empty skies, my love, to the dark
And [Gm] the empty skies
The [C] first time ever I [F] kissed your brow
I felt the [Dm] earth move in [Am] my [Bb] hair
Like the trembling [C] heart of [F] a captive bird
That [Eb] was there [Bb] at [F] my command, my love
That [Eb] was there [Eb] at my [F] command
Ah, [C]
[D] [F] oh,
[Dm] oh,
[Am] oh, [Bb]
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[C]
[F] That was [Eb] there [Bb] at my [F] command, my love
That [C] was [Eb] there at [F] my command
The
[C] first time [G] ever I [F] kissed your mouth I [Dm] felt the earth move in my [Am] heart
[Bb]
Like a trembling [C] heart of [F] a captive bird
That [Eb] was there [Bb] at my [F] command, my love
That [Eb] was there [Eb] at my [F] command
Ah, [C]
[F] ooh, ooh, ooh, [Dm] ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Am]

That [Eb] was there at [F] my command, my love
That [Eb] was there at my command
