Shell Never Be Mine Chords

(ver. 1)
Utah Phillips
[Verse 1]
   A                                      E
My love is a river where the white waters pour
                                                  A
I've hunted and trapped her through the Gates of Ladore
                                             E
She sings through a curtain of cold mountain rain
                                                 A
Where I dug her bright silver in the high Coeur d'Alene
 
 
[Chorus]
A               E
She'll never be mine
                A
She'll never be mine
                              D
I've won all her treasures so simple and fine
E              A
I guess she'll never be mine
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                                         E
My love's a cantina where I drink with my friends;
                                     A
I've called her Dolores or sometimes Cheyenne;
                                    E
I followed her begging all over the West;
                                       A
My love is a headlight on the midnight express
 
 
[Chorus]
A               E
She'll never be mine
                A
She'll never be mine
                              D
I've won all her treasures so simple and fine
E              A
I guess she'll never be mine
 
 
[Verse 3]
A                                  E
My love is a forest of high Douglas fir
                                   A
Many long summers I've laboured for her
                                       E
My love is the wind rows of dry autumn corn
                                            A
That grew on the land where my children were born
 
 
[Chorus]
A               E
She'll never be mine
                A
She'll never be mine
                              D
I've won all her treasures so simple and fine
E              A
I guess she'll never be mine
 
 
[Verse 4]
A                                      E
My love is the life that a boomer will lead
                                                  A
You bought her with lies and you chained her with greed
                                      E
My love is a dreamer, I'll follow the dream
                                      A
You say she's a beggar, I say she's a queen
 
 
[Chorus]
A                  E
Some day she'll be mine
                   A
Some day she'll be mine
                              D
I've won all her treasures so simple and fine
E            A
I know some day she'll be mine
