Paul Kelly - When I First Met Your Ma

      [Verse]
G            C            G
When I first met your mother
G             C     G
I was playing in a bar
C                  G
She walked in with my girlfriend
D
My foolish girlfriend brought her there
G             C               G
She looked so pretty and dangerous
G               C        G
As she brushed back her hair
C                      G
And I was not the only one
             D         G
Taking notice in that bar

[Verse]
C            D        G
When I first met your ma
G            C            G
When I first kissed your mother
G            C      G
I was single once again
C                              G
We walked through Fitzroy Gardens
D
There she took my hand
G             C       G
We could not stop our kissing
G         C              G
Then she whispered in my ear
C                        G
'Soon you'll get to know me,
D                   G
So let's not go too far'

[Chorus]
C             D          G
When I first kissed your ma
C           G
Love like a bird flies away
C                G
You'll find out the only way
C           D          G
Love like a bird flies away

[Verse]
G             C     G
When we first lay together
G          C       G
Inside her father's house
C                 G
We tried so to be quiet
D
As we held each other close
G                 C        G
Then her dad came bounding in
G             C      G
and kicked me out of there
C                      G
I walked two miles in Melbourne rain
D                              G
I probly could have walked ten more

[Chorus]
C             D         G
When I first loved your ma
C                       G
Love like a bird flies away
C                       G
You'll find out the only way
C             D         G
Love like a bird flies away
