Verse 1: 
 
G                 C     G 
You slept in your overalls 
G          C         G 
After the wrecking ball 
G           C            G 
Bereft you of house and home 
G                    C        G 
And left you with sweet f*ck-all 
 
Chorus: 
 
       Bm 
So we got in your car 
           G 
With our kickabout hearts 
         Em                   A 
And we hollered out 'sweet clementine' 
 
VERSE 2 
 
G                 C      G 
Tell your mom to marry us 
G            C    G 
A candle to carry us 
G               C         G 
Cans on our bicycle fenders 
G              C     G 
So sweet and hilarious 
 
CHORUS 
 
Bm 
And we'll find us a home 
          G 
Built of packaging foam 
           Em                      A 
That will be there 'til after we die

Verse 3: 
 
G                   C    G 
And, I'll play the clarinet 
G                     C    G 
Use clamshells for castanets 
G                 C                G 
We play with our bags on our shoulders 
G              G     A 
My sweet lady lioness 
 
Chorus: 
 
       Bm 
And I watch as you sleep 
        G 
So indelibly deep 
       Em                     A 
And I hum to you sweet clementine
