First Love
Am C/B C
I remember how we met
F G
but your name I forget
Am C/B C G E
like the door that I have kept unopened
Am C/B C
I remember it was wet
F G
and the swelt and the sweat
Am C/B C G E
and the shelter of the bed we we're clothed in
F C
You were stroking me like a pet
Am G
but you didn’t own me yet
F C G
and the tape in the cassette deck was choking
E
Spat out a broken hallelujah
Am C/B C F G
Am C/B C E
Am C/B C
But I’ve seen the way the earth
F G
throws its aces with a curve
Am C/B C
You were waiting for the words
G E
to come to yer.
Am C/B C F
Just to say that you prefer to be lonely
G
to be cursed
Am C/B C G E
and to do the very worst you can do.
F C
Yeah I remember you like a verse
Am G
that I didn’t want to learn
F C
I just looked into your eyes
E
and I knew yer.
F C
Now the thought of you is burnt
Am G F C
E
on my body from the first time you did rewind that line from Hallelujah.
The original Leonard Cohen version.
Am E Am E Am C F C
F C
Well I wish that I never met you that day
Am C
You said I have a room and music to play
F C
I have a room let me show you the way
Am C
I wish that I’d never come
F C
But now that I have, I would do it again
Am C
I would forget like I’d piss on a grave
F C
I would forget that I’d piss on a grave
Am C F C
and the words as they came to my tongue were hallelujah. Hallelujah!
Am C
And the sky was so much bluer
F C
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Am C
And the world was so much newer.
F
You said I have a room
C
at the top of the stairs
Am G
I have a room with a view
F C
I know we all have a cross that we bear
Am G E
and I’d like to show it to you.
Am C/B C F G
Am C/B E
F C
And you left me in the light
Am G
and you met me in the light
F C E
and we only had a night between the two.
F C
You were waiting for the worst
Am G
You were listening for a curse
F C E
but the only thing I heard was hallelujah.
F C
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Am C
And the sky was so much bluer
F C
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Am C
And the world was so much newer.
F
you said I have a room
C
at the top of the stairs.
Am G
I have a room with a view.
F C
I know we all have a cross that we bear
Am G
and I’d like to give it to you.
F C
And I won’t forget how the sky was set
Am G
I said I have a place to go back to.
F C
La La La I will have you yet
Am G
I will carry you there if I have to.
F C Am G
F C Am G
F C Am G
No I won’t forget no I won’t.
F C Am G
No I won’t forget no I won’t
F C Am G
No I won’t forget no I won’t
F C E
No I won’t forget no.
E Am
