"I Loved Her First" Heartland (No Capo Version)                     (Page#1)  	 
Intro chords:
E  C#m  A  A/G# F#m  B

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


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

Chorus
            E                 C#m
I loved her first, I held her first
                  A          A/G#m      F#m
And a place in my heart will always be hers
         B                E                                 C#m
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                        C#m
How could that beautiful woman with you
A                A/G#    F#m         B
Be the same freckled-face kid that I knew
E                         C#m
The one that I read all those fairytales to
A              A/G#      F#m      B
And tucked into bed all those nights

Pre-Chorus
C#m                          A
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
       E                   B
It was only a matter of time

(Repeat Chorus) 


(Fiddle Solo)

         B                 E
From the first breath she breathed
                          C#m
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#
Someday you might know what I'm goin' through
       F#m              E      B
When a miracle smiles up at you
             A
I loved her first

Ooh, ooh
