        I[A]'ll go on [C#m]living and [F#m]keep on forg[B7]iving be[Dmaj7]cause
        You were my f[Bm]irst l[E7]ove

        [A]So very [C#m]warm and [F#m]tender

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

        Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie
        You'll never know
        Ronnie, oh, Ronnie, Ronnie
        I'll go on living and keep on forgiving because
        You were my f[Bm]irst l[C#]ove

        [F#]    [Bbm] I walk all a[F#7]lone
        [B]I cry at h[Bm]ome    [F#]

        Day after day

Verse 3 [mostly wordless, w/falsetto]

        I never cheated
        I still repeat it

        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

[key change to Bb]

Coda [repeat to fade]:

        You were my f[Cm]irst l[F7]ove
