She Will Never Be Mine
C F G7
My love is a river where the white waters pour,
Ive hunted and trapped he through the Gates of Ladore
C F G7
She sings though a curtain of cold mountain rain
C
Where I dug her bright silver in the high Coeur d'Alene
Chorus:
G
Shell never be mine
C
Shell never be mine
F
Ive won all her treasures so simple and fine
G7 C
I guess shell never be mine
C F G7
My love's a cantina where I drink with my friends;
I've called her Dolores and sometimes Cheyenne;
C F G7
I followed her begging all over the West;
C
My love is a headlight on the midnight express.
My love is Montana and the high Douglas fir,
Many long summers I've labored for her.
My love is the wind-rows of dry Autumn corn
That grew on the land where my children were born.
My love is the life that a boomer will lead,
You have bought her with lies and chained her with greed;
My love is a dreamer, I follow the dream;
You say she's a beggar, I say she's a queen.
Final chorus:
Someday she'll be mine,
Someday she'll be mine,
I've won all her treasures so simple and fine,
I know someday she'll be mine.
