Clementine

G             C       G
Oh my darling Clementine,
    B7      Em          Bm7      C     G
how could I leave while you were sleeping?
G             C       G
Oh my darling Clementine,
    B7      Em     Bm7      C     G
I couldn't bear to hear you weeping.


G                     C          G
You tried to teach me right from wrong,
        B7      Em         Bm7   C     G
and you tried to burn off all my bad ways.
    G             C       G
But misery's a stubborn friend,
    B7  Em           Bm7      C    G
and she persists, in spite of good days.


     C           D          Em
So I sailed from your white sands,
C    G       D      G
on a ship of broken plans.
         C        D     Em
And your face was on my mind,
C      G      C     G
oh my darling Clementine.


G            C     G
Oh my lovely Clementine,
     B7     Em      Bm7    C   G
it's such a hell to be without you.
G                 C     G
My soul tormented every night,
     B7   Em     Bm7   C     G
and every day, I think about you.


   C           D        Em
I adored your foolish charm,
C     G        D      G
never meant to do you harm.
         C        D      Em
And your pain was on my mind.
C     G       C     G
Oh my darling Clementine.

G              C     G
Oh my precious Clementine,
  B7    Em       Bm7  C      G
I never dared to look behind me.
G               C       G
All this time I ran and ran,
    B7     Em          Bm7           C    G
and I ran aground, and I pray you'll find me.


         C       D        Em
And with all the bad I've done,
  C   G        D          G
I realize that you're the one.
      C           D        Em
And I hope you'll still be mine,
C     G       C     G
Oh my darling Clementine.


         C       D        Em
And with all the bad I've done,
  C   G        D          G
I realize that you're the one.
      C           D        Em
And I hope you'll still be mine,
C     G       C     G
Oh my darling Clementine.
