Intro:C D C A Bb C(Single note)



F          Dm         Bb          C

How well I remember my very first love affair.

F              Dm            Bb                 C

Those juvenile fantasies and innocent dreams we shared.

Gm                     Gm7          F                   Dm

But we're too blind to realize that we are totally unprepared

        Bb            C       F

For the first time we fall in love.

F             Dm           Bb                    C

We think it's forever, the first time we fall in love.

F         Dm           Bb                    C

We always treasure the first time we fall in love.

Gm                   Gm7

Those other romances come and go,

       F                  Dm

But we cherish the memory of

    Bb            C       F 

The first time we fall in love.



C D C A Bb C



      F                  Dm 

First love can be such a strain.

                 Gm                     Em

It can rule your head, it can bring you pain,

            F                    Dm

And when it ends it seems such a shame.

    Bb            C       F

The first time we fall in love,

             Dm                   Gm

Can make you sad, it can keep you awake,

                 Em

It can drive you mad.

                      F                     Dm

People say you're too young and it's only a fad

    Bb            C       F   Am

The first time we fall in love.

    Bb            C       F   F Em

The first time we fall in love.





Dm                                    Bb                       Bb C

The first time I fell out of love, it knocked me through the floor.

Dm                              Bb                 Bb Am

My world came crashing down, it shook me to the core.

  Gm 

I was unprepared 'cos I was only a kid

      F                      Am  

And I was much too young and I wasn't equipped

        Dm        Bb            Dm           C C C C

For the emotional pressures and stresses of it.

    F                 Dm

But oh, I'll never forget

             Gm                            Em 

The way that she looked the first time we met.

          F                   Dm 

Time goes by but we never forget

    Bb            C       F

The first time we fall in love.





Dm                           Bb           Bb C

Love can be exciting, it can be a bloody bore.

Dm                        Bb              Bb Am

Love can be a pleasure or nothing but a chore.

Gm

Love can be like a dull routine,

   F                              Am 

It can run you around till you're out of steam.

   Dm            Bb           Dm            C C C C  

It can treat you well, it can treat you mean,

F                Dm

Love can mess you around,

      Gm                            Em

I can pick you up, it can bring you down.

                  F                    Dm

But they'll never know The feelings we show

    Bb            C       F   Am

The first time we fall in love.

    Bb            C       F   

The first time we fall in love.
