^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
