I Loved Her First Uke tab by Hearttland

Intro chords:
E Cm A A/G# F#7 B


 E                      Cm
Look at the two of you dancin' that way
A           A/G#       F#m           B
Lost in the moment and each other's face
E                       Cm 
So much in love, you're alone in this place
             A       A/G#      F#m    B       
Like there's nobody else in the world

E                    Cm
I was enough for her not long ago
A           A/G#       F#m        B
I was her number one, she told me so
        E                           Cm
And she still means the world to me just so you know
      A            A/G#      F#m       B
So be careful when you hold my girl


Pre-Chorus:
Cm                       A  
Time changes everything, life must go on
        E                       B
And I'm not gonna stand in your way


Chorus
            E                 Cm
I loved her first, I held her first
                  A          A/G#      F#m
And a place in my heart will always be hers
         B                E                                 Cm
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me
           A         A/G#        F#m    B 
I knew the love of a father runs deep
      F#m                E         A     A/G#             
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
         F#m             E     B
But it's still hard to give her away
            E
I loved her first

E  Cm
How could that beautiful woman with you
A              A/G#      F#m           B
Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew

E                         Cm
The one that I read all those fairytales to
A             A/G#     F#m       B
And tucked into bed all those nights

Cm  A
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
E B
It was only a matter of time

            E                Cm
I loved her first, I held her first
                  A          A/G#      F#7
And a place in my heart will always be hers
         B                E                                 Cm
From the first breath she breathed when she first smiled at me
           A         A/G#        F#7    B 
I knew the love of a father runs deep
      F#7                E         A    A/G#              
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
         F#7            E      B
But it's still hard to give her away
            E
I loved her first

 B                E
From the first breath she breathed
  Cm
When she first smiled at me
           A         A/G#        F#7    B
I knew the love of a father runs deep
       F#7               E         A    A/G#
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through
          F#7           E      B
When a miracle smiles up at you
            E
I loved her first

Ooh, ooh
