Intro: (A) (D) (A/E) (E7) (A) (E) (A)

(E7)                         (A)   (D)
The first time that he saw her,
                   (E7)  (A)      (D)
He knew everything had changed,
                       (A)       (E7)
Overnight love started blooming,
                       (A)
Like the first rose of spring,

                          (D)
Auburn hair like a sunrise,
                         (A)   (D)
Sweetest smile he'd ever seen,
                           (A)        (E7)
Butterflies, they danced around her,
                       (A)     (Bb7) (B7)
Like the first rose of spring,

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

Solo: (E7) (A7) (D) (A) (D) (A) (D) (A) (E7) (A) (Bb) (B7)

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

                 (A)       (D)
The last time he saw her,
                       (A)       (D)
He knew everything had changed,
                            (A)               (D)   (A)
He said goodbye and let the tears fall like rain,
       (E7)             (A)    (D) (A) (D) (A) 
On the first rose of spring.
