VERSE 1

G+G         C majorC   D MajorD
You slept in your overalls
G+G     C majorC     D MajorD
After the wrecking ball
G+G      C majorC      D MajorD
Bereft you of house and home
G+G          C majorC    D MajorD
And left you with sweet fuck-all

CHORUS

    E minorEm
So we got in your car
      C majorC
With our kickabout hearts
     A minorAm          D MajorD
And we hollered out 'sweet clementine'

VERSE 2
G+G         C majorC   D MajorD
Tell your mom to marry us
G+G      C majorC  D MajorD
A augmentedA candle to carry us
G+G        C majorC     D MajorD
Cans on our bicycle fenders
G+G       C majorC   D MajorD
So sweet and hilarious

CHORUS

E minorEm
And we'll find us a home
     C majorC
Built of packaging foam
      A minorAm           D MajorD
That will be there 'til after we die

BRIDGE

G+G          C majorC  D MajorD
And, I'll play the clarinet
G+G           C majorC  D MajorD
Use clamshells for castanets
G+G         C majorC        D MajorD
We play with our bags on our shoulders
G+G       C majorC   D MajorD
My sweet lady lioness

CHORUS

    E minorEm
And I watch as you sleep
    C majorC
So indelibly deep
    A minorAm           D MajorD
And I hum to you sweet clementine
