And the original chords used for this little classic?

First Cut is the Deepest

G : C : D :

I would have given you all of my heart 

But there's someone else who's torn it apart 

And she's taking almost all that I've got 

But if you want, I'll try to love again 

Baby I'll try to love again but I know 

 

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know 

The first cut is the deepest 

'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed 

When it comes to lovin' me she's worse 

 

I still want you by my side 

Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried 

Cause I'm sure gonna give you a try 

And if you want, I'll try to love again 

Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know 

 

The first cut is the deepest, baby I know 

The first cut is the deepest 

'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed 

When it comes to lovin' me she's worse

Yes that's all there is to it folks - ok the order of the chords is changed around on the verses and chorus', but it's nothing too hectic to follow. Have a listen to the record and you'll hear what I mean. Don't forget that you can always change the key to suit your voice on any song!
