Tom: Em
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.
