(chord D) (chord G)

First play the bass line vary softly, then gradually you can

I [D]have a lover[G], a [D]lover like no other[G]
She got [D]soul, soul, soul, sweet s[G]oul
And she [D]teach me how to sing[G]

Sh[Bm]ows me colours when there's no[G]ne to see
Gi[Bm]ves me hope when I c[G]an't believe that
For the f[D]irst time[G] I feel l[D]ove

I have a brother, when I'm a brother in need
I spend my whole time running
He spends his running after me

When I feel myself goin' down
I just call and he comes around
But for the first time I feel love

My father is a rich man, he wears a rich man's cloak
Gave me the keys to his kingdom (coming)
Gave me a cup of gold

He said "I have many mansions, and there are many rooms to see"
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key...

For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
I feel love
