A        C#m  A             A7
Antique Sandy lived in the woods

    D               D/C#            Bm          E
And she'd go to the stream when the weather was good

A                    C#m           A           A7
She'd take down the washin for her old man to wear

     D               D/C#  Bm            E
And she tried not to get   eaten by the bear

A                C#m            A           A7
She'd fly to the market in her worn out old balloon

D                        D/C#          Bm              E
That she traded with the flyer  for an antique silver spoon

         A       C#m              A              A7
And when she got home she'd cook upon the wooden stove

          D               D/C#          Bm              E
And she'd go to sleep and listen to the whispers of the grove

    D                                    A
At night she dreamed of places where she lived when she was young

F#m                                             A                A7
Where the corn strip stretched for miles like a giant serpent's tongue

D                                     A
Electric lights and phone bells and every light insane (?)

       F#m                            A             E
Like a hundred thousand hungry  miles meeting at her brain

SOLO

A                 C#m                A              A7
I greet her in the morning when she wakes up in my arms

           D          D/C#              Bm                E
And I tell her that I love her and I'll keep her free from harm

  A                  C#m            A                A7
I hold her close she matters she is all the world to me

      D                D/C#      Bm                 E
Cause she's my Antique Sandy and she's in love with me
