GCG
Oh my darling Clementine,
B7EmBm7CG
how could I leave while you were sleeping?
GCG
Oh my darling Clementine,
B7EmBm7CG
I couldn't bear to hear you weeping.
GCG
You tried to teach me right from wrong,
B7EmBm7CG
and you tried to burn off all my bad ways.
GCG
But misery's a stubborn friend,
B7EmBm7CG
and she persists, in spite of good days.
CDEm
So I sailed from your white sands,
CGDG
on a ship of broken plans.
CDEm
And your face was on my mind,
CGCG
oh my darling Clementine.
GCG
Oh my lovely Clementine,
B7EmBm7CG
it's such a hell to be without you.
GCG
My soul tormented every night,
B7EmBm7CG
and every day, I think about you.
CDEm
I adored your foolish charm,
CGDG
never meant to do you harm.
CDEm
And your pain was on my mind.
CGCG
Oh my darling Clementine.
GCG
Oh my precious Clementine,
B7EmBm7CG
I never dared to look behind me.
GCG
All this time I ran and ran,
B7EmBm7CG
and I ran aground, and I pray you'll find me.
CDEm
And with all the bad I've done,
CGDG
I realize that you're the one.
CDEm
And I hope you'll still be mine,
CGCG
Oh my darling Clementine.
CDEm
And with all the bad I've done,
CGDG
I realize that you're the one.
CDEm
And I hope you'll still be mine,
CGCG
Oh my darling Clementine.
