BHe said  Oh my love  EOh my ABntonia
BYou with the dark eyes and F#palest of skin

BWait for me till I'm in your F#arms once Bagain
BShe held me  she kissed me  Ebegged me not to lBeave her
BTo cross on the mountain my F#fortune to win
BBut a letter now tells me sEhe died of a Bfever
BI'll never see her in tF#his world aBgain
F#You are my sorrow   Byou are my splendor
F#You are my shelter through sBtorm and through strife
F#You are the one I will Balways remEember

BI curse the ambition that Etook me far Bfrom her
BFor a treasure not ever so F#fine or so fair
