Chords for Peter, Paul & Mary - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Thank you very much.
We'd like to sing a song that was written by a traditional
singer from Scotland.
His name is Ewan McCall and he's married to a relative [E] of
Pete Seeger, the greatest American folk singer [A] I think. _ _
The song is about the
first time they met and fell in love.
It's called The First Time.
