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)
Intro:
E------------3-3-3-3-|
A--3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-|

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
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
(Solo)
repeat verse 2 then fade.
