INTRO
(D G A) x2
VERSE 1
D G A
You slept in your overalls
D G A
After the wrecking ball
D G A
Bereft you of house and home
D G A
And left you with sweet fuck-all
CHORUS
Bm
So we got in your car
G
With our kickabout hearts
Em A
And we hollered out 'sweet clementine'
VERSE 2
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/decemberists/clementine_crd.html ]
D G A
Tell your mom to marry us
D G A
a candle to carry us
D G A
with cans on our bicycle fenders
D G A
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
BRIDGE
(D G A)x5
VERSE 3
D G A
And, i'll play the clarinet
D G A
Use clamshells for castinets
D G A
We play with our bags on our shoulders
D 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
(D G A) x5
