I Loved Her Firstv3

I Loved Her First (capo 2nd fret) Key of E

Intro

D (6 counts),

Bm (6 counts)

G(3 counts) F#m(3 counts),

Em (3 counts), A (3 counts)

Note: The G to the F#m is really just changing the top two strings. Play the F#m like a

but with your pointer on the second fret of the top string- let go with your middle

and keep the rest the same. This is a walkdown- do this EVERY time you see a G to a F#m

hold the rest of that G shape. I will write it as F#m (G) so you remember you are mostly

a G with only a couple of F#m notes.

VERSE I

Look at the two of you dancing that way

Lost in the moment and each others face

So much in love your alone in this place

Like there's nobody else in the world

VERSE II

I was enough for her not long ago

I was her number one, She told me so

And she still means the world to me, Just so you know

So be careful when you hold my girl

BRIDGE

Time changes everything, Life must go on

And I'm not gonna stand in your way

CHORUS

But I loved her first and I held her first

And a place in my heart will always be hers …. From the first breath she

Breathed ……When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep……..

And I prayed that she'd find you someday………………..

But it still hard to give her away………………….

I loved her first

******(For transition sake, just play the intro 1 time here before the next verse)

VERSE III

How could that beautiful women with you

Be the same freckle face kid that I knew

The one that I read all those fairy tales to

And tucked into bed all those nights

BRIDGE

And I knew the first time I saw you with her

It was only a matter of time

CHORUS

But I loved her first and I held her first

And a place in my heart will always be hers …. From the first breath she

Breathed ……When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep……..

And I prayed that she'd find you someday………………..

But it still hard to give her away………………….

I loved her first………..........................From the first breath she

Breathed, When she first smiled at me

I knew the love of a father runs deep……………..

Someday you might know what I'm going through…………

When a miracle smiles up at you

I loved her first………………………………………………………………………
