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.
