INTRO:
D  A  E7

VERSE:
A  E7                       A
    The first time I saw her
D                                A
  He knew everything had changed
D                           A
  Overnight love started blooming
E7                          A    A
  Like the first rose of spring


VERSE:
A            E7            A
  Auburn hair like a sunrise
D                           A
  Sweetest smile he'd ever seen
D                             A
  Butterflies, they danced around her
E7                          A
  Like the first rose of spring

CHORUS:
 B7                        E7
Summertime would've never started
B7                           E7
  And wintertime would never end
 A                    D
She colored his life, opened his eyes
     A                 D
To things he'd never dream
A              E7             A
  Without the first rose of spring

CHORUS:
 B7                          E7
Gave him children like a garden
B7                                   E7
  They gave 'em all the love they'd need
A                  D
To grow up strong,  she made a home
 A                     D
And every year, he'd bring
A          E7            A     A
 Her the first rose of spring


VERSE:
A E7                      A
    The last time he saw her
D                           A
  He knew everything had changed
D
  He said goodbye
              A              D
And let the tears fall like rain
A         E7        A        D  A  D   A
  On the first rose of spring
