My Antonia

D B E G E G D F E D B E G I imagine you in a place wide open and beautiful E G D Where the sun sets wildly over the horizon, D B E G In the moment you learned we can't concentrate on everything, E G D Though it breaks your heart as strongly as you'd like to. D B E G These sun bleached memories see you stand on the beach aside the ocean, E G D Underneath the clouds above the badlands. D B E G I see your picture like a still frame standing strongly beneath the sun, E G D When it was you, me and no one but the ghosts we shared. B E Though there was always talk, we could have lived without it, G E D Though we'd come to doubt it, always surrounded by it. B E G And for whatever lost, there were the hundred things we'd learned. E G D To the point of no return we would stand by it. D B E G And I imagine you like all that's pure left in America, E G D The red grass prairies, the Niobrara river. D B E G Though in the moment you learned we can't concentrate on everything, E G D You will always be my Antonia Shimerda.
