Shell Never Be Mine

 
D                            G            A 
My love is a river where the white waters pour 
                                        D 
I hunted and trapped her bytheGates of Ladore 
                              G             A 
Shesings with the spirit of acold mountain rain 
                                                D 
Where I won her bright silver in the high Coeur d'Alene 
 

 
D               A 
She'll never be mine 
                D 
She'll never be mine 
                                   G 
Though I won all her treasures, so simple and fine 
A                      D 
I know she'll never be min 
 

 
D                           G             A 
My love's a cantina where I drink with my frinds 
                                   D 
I called her Dolores and sometimes Cheyenne 
                         G            A 
I followed her, beggin', all over the West 
                                       D 
My love is a headlight on the midnight express 
 

 
D               A 
She'll never be mine 
                D 
She'll never be mine 
                                   G 
Though I won all her treasures, so simple and fine 
A                      D 
I know she'll never be min 
 

 
D                           G            A 
My love is Montana with the high Douglas fir 
                                    D 
And many long summers I labored for her 
                                 G           A 
She sings with the spirit of the high autumn corn 
                                               D 
That came from the land where my children were born 
 

 
D               A 
She'll never be mine 
                D 
She'll never be mine 
                                   G 
Though I won all her treasures, so simple and fine 
A                      D 
I know she'll never be min 
 

 
D                          G           A 
My love is the life that a boomer will lead 
                                           D 
You chain her with lies, you trap her with greed 
                      G            A 
My love is a dreamer, I follow the dream 
                                      D 
You say she's a beggar, I say she's a queen 
 

 
D                 A 
Someday she'll be mine 
                  D 
Someday she'll be mine 
                            G 
I won all her treasures, so simple and fine 
A                        D 
I know someday she'll be min
