FIRST BORN DAUGHTER
As recorded by Max McNown
(2026 release)
Capo 3rd fret

[Intro]
Am  C  Dm  Am

[Verse 1]
            C
Type A to a T
     Dm                       Am   
Does wonders for my scattered brain
                  C   
And it's such a relief
          Dm                            Am                    
When "I'm fine" means "I'm fine" and it ain't just a mind game
                              C                
You're hard on yourself, only see imperfections
    Dm                        Am 
But darling, even mirrors can lie
                           C                      
So look in my eyes, let me change your perspective
Dm                       Am
Show you every reason why

[Chorus]
F                     C                  
I fell in love with a first born daughter
  Am                  G                  
A fresh taste of watermelon in the summer
       F                      C   
'Cause she loves speaking her mind
                     Am  
Puts her love on the line
                  G                           
No, she ain't the kind to make me wonder 'bout
F                                   C                               Am     G 
How my life would look without her, once I found her, won't let her go, oh oh
F                    C                    
Some might say I'm a lamb to the slaughter
    Am                G                  FCAm G
But I fell hard for a first born daughter

[Verse 2]
Am         C      
So don't rearrange
    Dm                              Am                     
The way that you are 'cause there's nothing that I'd change
                    C   
You're all that you need
        Dm                         Am               
But you want what you want and I'm lucky you want me

[Chorus]
F                     C                  
I fell in love with a first born daughter
  Am                  G                  
A fresh taste of watermelon in the summer
       F                      C   
'Cause she loves speaking her mind
                     Am  
Puts her love on the line
                  G                           
No, she ain't the kind to make me wonder 'bout
F                                   C                               Am     G 
How my life would look without her, once I found her, won't let her go, oh oh
F                    C                    
Some might say I'm a lamb to the slaughter
    Am                G                  FCAm G
But I fell hard for a first born daughter

[Bridge]
          F                        C                 
Yeah, and maybe there's a day with another on the way
     Am                        G                       
That gets your middle name and this whole heart of mine
F                                 C                            
Hoping she's your spitting image, it'll look a little different
Am                  G         
But it won't be the first time

[Out-Chorus]
F                     C                  
I fell in love with a first born daughter
  Am                  G                  
A fresh taste of watermelon in the summer
       F                      C   
'Cause she loves speaking her mind
                     Am  
Puts her love on the line
                  G                           
No, she ain't the kind to make me wonder 'bout
F                                   C                               Am     G 
How my life would look without her, once I found her, won't let her go, oh oh
F                    C                    
Some might say I'm a lamb to the slaughter
    Am                G                  FC
But I fell hard for a first born daughter
      Am                G                  F
Yeah, I fell hard for a first born daughter
