Intro:

	(drum/percussion fill)

	                                 
	I'll go on living and keep on forgiving because
	                 
	You were my first love

Verse 1:

	             
	So very warm and tender
	           
	The way you loved me
	               
	Hey girl, can't you remember
	            
	And want more of me

Chorus 1:

	       /        
	Ronnie,     Ronnie, Ronnie
	              [N..]
	Why did you go
	       /        
	Ronnie, oh, Ronnie, Ronnie
	                                   
	I am regretting but can't stop forgetting because
	                 
	You were my first love

Verse 2:

	You said now you don't need me
	Because I cheated
	Why didn't you believe me
	When I repeated

Chorus 2:

	Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie
	You'll never know
	Ronnie, oh, Ronnie, Ronnie
	I'll go on living and keep on forgiving because
		         
	You were my first love

Bridge:

	            
	     I walk all alone
	              
	I cry at home
	                              
	Night after night (night after night)
		              [        <- single notes]
	Day after day

Verse 3 [mostly wordless, w/falsetto]

	I never cheated
	I still repeat it

Chorus 3:

	Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie, you'll never know
	Ronnie, oh, Ronnie, Ronnie
	I'll go on living and keep on forgiving because
	You were my first love
