Emmylou Harris & Dave Matthews - My Antonia Chords

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He said, oh my love, oh my Antonia
You with the dark [F#] eyes and palest of skin
[B] Tonight I am going from Santa Maria
Wait for me till I'm in [F#] your arms [B] once again
She _ _ _ _ held me, she kissed me, begged [E] me [B] not to leave her
To cross the mountain, [F#] my fortune to win
[B] But a letter now tells me [E] she died of [B] a fever
And I'll never see her [F#] in this [B] world again
_ You _ _ _ [F#] _
are my sun, [B] oh you are my splendor
[F#] You are my shelter [B] through storm and through [F#] strife
You are the one [B] I will always [E] remember
_ [B] All of [F#] the days of [B] my life
_ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ curse the ambition that [E] took me far [B] from her
For treasure I'll never [F#] so find or so pay
[B] As the flash of her smile [E] or the touch of [B] her fingers
While in her heart I must [F#] smell of her [B] hair _
_ _ _ _ [G#m] She left me alone, [F#] cried to me, wept for [E] me
My whole [B] year was a week, as sure as the stars
[G#m] The rising evening, [E] the shines [B] of the beam
The whole night I am with you, [F#] wherever [B] you _ are
_ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I can still hear, [E] he calls to [B] me, oh
What once was begotten [F#] shall come to an end
[B] But the road is so long [E] and the nights [B] are so long
My soul just to hold [F#] him in this [B] world again
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] You are my sun, [B] oh you are my splendor
[F#] You are my shelter [B] through storm and through strife
[F#] You are the one I [B] will [E] always remember
[B] All [F#] of the days [B] of my _ life _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [B] Oh my love, [E] oh my [B] Antonia
You with the dark eyes and [F#] palest of skin
[B] Oh could I know that night in Santa Maria
That I'd never see you [F#] in this world [B] again _ _ _
