Harris Emmylou - My Antonia guitar tab

Emmylou Harris My Antonia written by Emmylou Harris

B E B

He said Oh my love Oh my Antonia

B F#

You with the dark eyes and palest of skin

B E B

Tonight I am going from Santa Maria

B F# B

Wait for me till I'm in your arms once again

B E B

She held me she kissed me begged me not to leave her

B F#

To cross on the mountain my fortune to win

B E B

But a letter now tells me she died of a fever

B F# B

I'll never see her in this world again

F# B

You are my sorrow you are my splendor

F# B

You are my shelter through storm and through strife

F# B E

You are the one I will always remember

B F# B

All off the days of my life

B E B

I curse the ambition that took me far from her

B F#

For a treasure not ever so fine or so fair

B E B

As the flash of her smile or the touch of her fingers

B F# B

The fire in her heart and the smell of her hair

G#m F#

She left me a note that cried Do not weep for me

E B F#

Behold you are with me as sure as the stars

G#m E B

That rise in the evening to shine down upon me

B F# B

Behold I am with you wherever you are

B E B

I can still hear him he calls to me only

B F#

What once was begotten shall come to no end

B E B

But the road is so long and the nights are so lonely

B F# B

My soul just to hold him in this world again

F# B

You are my sorrow you are my splendor

F# B

You are my shelter through storm and through strife

F# B E

You are the one I will always remember

B F# B

All of the days of my life

B E B

Oh my love Oh my Antonia

B F#

You with the dark eyes and palest of skin

B E B

How could I know that night in Santa Maria

B F# B

I'd never see you in this world again
