Bm
The first time that I saw you

I said "for goodness sake
      Em            G
That man's got the power
         F#             Bm   G | F# |  
He's a charmer with a snake"
         Bm
I was thrilled and fascinated
       G       F#
But somehow liberated
      G                 Em             F#
When you took me to a place i'd never been.
      Em                F               F#7
You showed me lots of things i'd never seen

     B       F#
You set me free
   E
As if you'd taken me
 G              A     B 
Halfway up the hindu kush
   B       F#
And i love you
      E
For showing me the view
      G              A     B 
From halfway up the hindu kush

The next time that i saw you, 
you looked into my eyes
I was sitting on your carpet 
when i felt it begin to rise
I kinda got the feeling
I was floating to the ceiling
Instead of looking at the sky
You picked me up and showed me how to fly

You set me free, 
as if you'd taken me
Halfway up the hindu kush
And i love you
For showing me the view
From halfway up the hindu kush

      G
From halfway up the hindu
      C#
From halfway up the hindu
      F#                   B
From halfway up the hindu kush

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
