First Cut Is The Deepest

this song was originally done by Cat Stevens, but I learned the song

from Rod Stewart off of the "night on the town" album. It is a very

easy three chord progression. The beginning is just "C" but adding the

"F" note every second strum.

"First Cut is The Deepest"

(Cat Stevens) (Rod Stewart)

Play the intro four times over...then start singing on the "G"..

I would have given you all of my heart

But theres someone who has torn it apart

and shes taken just all that I have

but if you want I'll try and love again

babe I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest cuzz baby I know

The first cut is the deepest

When it comes to being lucky she's cursed

When it comes to loving me shes worse

Verse 2:

yes I want you by my side

just to help me dry the tears that I cry

and I'm sure going to give you a try

cuzz if you want I'll try to love again

baby I'll try to love again but I know

(Solo)

repeat verse 2 then fade.
