I’m Not The First

Larry Cordle

Intro: C – Bb – G – G – D – G

 

    G        

I believed every word that woman told me

                                                         C

Right up to the time she said goodbye

                                                          G

I couldn’t see the truth when she’d hold me

                             D                       G

Although it was right before my eyes

 

          <CHORUS>

          C                 Bb              G

          I’m not the first to go blind

                                                                D

          Or the first to ignore the warning signs

            G                                                              C     C7

          I may have been a fool, when it comes to you

            G               D               G

          I’m not the first to go blind

 

           G

Well, Lord, if I had only seen it coming

                                                            C

Then I could have stepped out of the way

                                                                       G

But her good loving kept my wild thoughts running

                                         D                     G

And I know that’s what took my sight away

 

          <CHORUS>
