                       THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE

Music by Bert Jansch
Transcribed by Oliver C. Kn?rzer

There are some crude versions in this forum, with alternating measures, etc. So I
decided to post my transcription of this great instrumental, which is notated in
4/4 as it sounds on the record (in my ears at least).
