Seed,

The RUS chords are a simplification of the guitar part for this song. It does not follow a simple structure (most likely Ewan sang it into being without musical accompaniment). I've placed the RUS chords "sort of" in their place. The song works best with the melody sounded out with some chords as filler, rather than chorded out.

Good luck.

The first time ever I saw your face

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~F#M~~G
I thought the sun rose in your eye

~~~~~~~~~D~~~~~~~~Em~~~~~~~~~~~~~D
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave

~~~~~~~~C~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~D
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,

~~~~~~~~C~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~D
To the dark and the empty skies.
