"The First Time"

(Brian Wilson)

Verse 1:

               B                    G#m7/D#      D#m
        In the night time when it's dark and cold
               E                          C#m7/F#  F#7  C#m7/F#  F#7
        I find peace of mind cause I have you to hold

Verse 2:
                   B                       G#m7/D#      D#m
        When we're sound asleep and we're breathing   slow
               E                C#m7/F#  F#7 F#7add9 F#7
        Angels up above and the devil below



Bridge 1:

        E            G#m7
        House of the rising sun
        E                G#m7
        Beam up love for everyone
        A#m7 D#7   G#m7  C#7   F#7 F#7sus4 F#7
        Ha---ppy   just  to    be


Verse 3:
              B                        G#m7/D#   D#m
        Every one in the world has his first time
                E                 C#m7/F#  F#7 F#7add9 F#7
        And his best time and his worst time

Bridge 2:

        E               G#m7
        I've heard your voice so sweet
        E           G#m7
        Strangers until we meet
        A#m7  D#7 G#m7 C#7         F#7 F#7sus4 F#7
        Steal the dark side of the moon


Chorus:
                     B            
        Please don't ask me why
                 G#m7/D#   D#m7  
        But it's something I
                E       Fdim    
        Have so deep inside
                 B/F#     G#m7
        So I can tell you now
               D#m7  G#m7           C#m7   F#7sus4 F#7 
        That I see       it all the way 
                 B
        Through  you


(Interlude : like Verse 1, Verse 2 and Bridge 1 )

(Repeat Chorus)

Coda: 

            E     B
        Woo wee   woo
            E     B
        Woo wee   woo
            E     B
        Woo wee   woo
