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
