First Love

D A D G D A D

D                      A
I was fifteen, she was eighteen,
D                       G        
The prettiest thing I'd ever seen
    D
 in my life.
                         A
An' I loved her at first sight.
        D          A       D 
I found her in Marietta, a town 
            G
north of Atlanta.
              D              A
I brought her home to see my folks,
               D
They loved her too.

[Verse 2]
D                      A
We were together for a long time,
           D            G
Thought it would be for all time.
           D                     
But things change and re-arrange, 
            A
she had to go.
            D           G   
She left me cryin' in '79, an 
          D            G
airline pilot in Caroline.
        D                    A
I was a wreck, can't drive a check:
            D
It broke my heart.

[Chorus]
D         G                 A
 My first love was an older woman.
G
There's been many since,
             A
But there'll never be another.
         D              G   
Built in nineteen fifty-five, 
           D          G
snowshoe white, overdrive,
                  D             
I should've never sold her, I'll 
        A
always love her,
        D
She was mine.

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
D                        A
Years went by, teardrops dried;
          D           G
I got her back, I was surprised.
    D                            A
In '93, a gift to me on Christmas 
Eve.
D                          G
We were both older, so I restored 
her.
D                      G
Could've sold her, for alot more.
D                          
But I will never, she's mine 
    A
forever,
        D
Until I go.

[Chorus]
         G                 A
My first love was an older woman.
G
There's been many since,
             A
But there'll never be another.
         D              G   
Built in nineteen fifty-five, 
           D          G
snowshoe white, overdrive,
                  D             
I should've never sold her, I'll 
        A
always love her,
        D
She was mine.

G          D                 
I'll never sell her, she's mine 
      A
forever,
           D
I love her so.
