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.
