My Antonia Emmylou Harris
Emmylou Harris My Antonia written by Emmylou Harris
[B]He said Oh my love [E]Oh my A[B]ntonia
[B]You with the dark eyes and [F#]palest of skin
[B]Tonight I am going from S[E]anta Ma[B]ria
[B]Wait for me till I'm in your [F#]arms once [B]again
[B]She held me she kissed me [E]begged me not to l[B]eave her
[B]To cross on the mountain my [F#]fortune to win
[B]But a letter now tells me s[E]he died of a [B]fever
[B]I'll never see her in t[F#]his world a[B]gain
[F#]You are my sorrow [B]you are my splendor
[F#]You are my shelter through s[B]torm and through strife
[F#]You are the one I will [B]always rem[E]ember
[B]All off the [F#]days of my [B]life
[B]I curse the ambition that [E]took me far [B]from her
[B]For a treasure not ever so [F#]fine or so fair
[B]As the flash of her smile or the [E]touch of her [B]fingers
[B]The fire in her heart and [F#]the smell of her [B]hair
[G#m]She left me a note that cri[F#]ed Do not weep for me
[E]Behold you are w[B]ith me as sure as the st[F#]ars
[G#m]That rise in the evening to [E]shine down u[B]pon me
[B]Behold I am with you where[F#]ver you [B]are
[B]I can still hear him he c[E]alls to me [B]only
[B]What once was begotten shall [F#]come to no end
[B]But the road is so long and the [E]nights are so [B]lonely
[B]My soul just to hold him in [F#]this world [B]again
[F#]You are my sorrow [B]you are my splendor
[F#]You are my shelter through s[B]torm and through strife
[F#]You are the one I will [B]always rem[E]ember
[B]All of the [F#]days of my [B]life
[B]Oh my love [E]Oh my A[B]ntonia
[B]You with the dark eyes and [F#]palest of skin
[B]How could I know that night in [E]Santa [B]Maria
[B]I'd never see you in [F#]this world [B]again
