      C - G - Am - F - Dm - G - C  (2x)
 
            C              G        Am Em    F      G            C
1. I've written words that say I'm leaving, words express the pain,
           G                 Am F      Dm              G
    old songs lose their meanings, but new ones they gain.
               F            Em              Dm                 C
    From changes that I've been through, and what I'm coming to,
      C    G          Am  F           Dm       - G - C
    you were my first song, and I still...         + (repeat chords of this line)
 
      C        G       Am Em     F       G         C
2. Sure I still get feelings to get back on the road,
             G        Am F         Dm                G
    and I still get leanings to forget the things I know.
         F            Em        Dm                C
    About myself and changes, gone through and coming to,
       C     G         Am   F           Dm     - G - C
    and you were my first song and  I still...   + (repeat chords of this line)
 
        C       G        Am Em          F                   G       C
3. Do words express true meanings, I mean the words I've still to sing,
               G             Am F      Dm             G
    old loves lose their feelings, but new ones they gain.
          F                Em                Dm                C
    The changes that I've been through, and new ones I'm coming to,
         G         Am   F           Dm       - G - C
    and you were my first song,  and I still...
       G          Am   F           Dm       - G - C
    You were my first song, and  I still...
         G          Am   F           Dm      G      C
    Yes, you were my first song, and  I still love you.
