I Loved Her First (ver 4) by Hearttland

I Loved Her First (capo 2nd fret) Key of E

Intro
D (6 counts),
Bm (6 counts)
G(3 counts) F#m(3 counts),
Em (3 counts), A (3 counts)

Note:  The G to the F#m is really just changing the top two strings. Play the F#m like a
but with your pointer on the second fret of the top string- let go with your middle
and keep the rest the same. This is a walkdown- do this EVERY time you see a G to a F#m 
hold the rest of that G shape. I will write it as F#m (G) so you remember you are mostly
a G with only a couple of F#m notes.
