Intro: C Am Dm G 

         C                    Am 
When they gave out eyes like diamonds 
           Dm           G       C     C7 
That would shame the stars that shine 
     F   Fm       C    Am  
My darlin' my darlin' 
   Dm         D7        G 
You were the first in line 

           C                  Am 
When they gave out lips like honey 
     Dm          G           C   C7 
That hold a new thrill every time 
  F      Fm       C   Am   
My darlin' my darlin' 
Dm            G          C  C7 
You were the first in line 

               F         
There may be others  
               Fm 
that know you longer 
   C           G7          C   C7 
Who pledge their hearts to you 

               F 
But there's no other  
                Fm 
could love you stronger 
G7 
Any stronger than I do 

Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me 
I am yours, oh please be mine 
My darlin' say I'm your darlin' 
The first, and the last in line
