The Lovin Of The Game Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

[INTRO]
[C] [D] [F] [C] [D] [F] [C]

[VERSE 1]
I watched the Feather River [D]glide [F]
Over shining golden [C]sand
Struck the silver ribbon [D]wide [F]
Held a million in my [C]hand

[VERSE 2]
But besides the [G/B]looking [Am]for

The finding's always tame
And there's [C]nothing drives a [D]gambler [F]
Like the lovin' of the [C]game

[VERSE 3]
All my life I've searched a[D]round [F]
Travelin' hard from town to [C]town
But I never really [D]found [F]
Anything to tie me [C]down

[VERSE 4]
Still I would not [G/B]trade my [Am]time

For a solid diamond claim
No, I [C]would not trade a [D]fortune [F]
For the lovin' of the [C]game

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [D] [F] [C] [D] [F] [C]

[VERSE 5]
So long, Darlin', don't you [D]cry [F]
I hope that things turn out for [C]you
All these good times goin' [D]by [F]
Got to get ourselves a [C]few

[VERSE 6]
Still I would not [G/B]trade my [Am]time

For a solid diamond claim
Oh, the [C]treasure's not for [D]taking [F]
It's the lovin' of the [C]game
Oh, the [C]treasure's not for [D]taking [F]
It's the lovin' of the [C]game__[F]_
The lovin' of the [C]game
