🎸 Verse 1:
    D MajorD
If it wasn't so dark out here tonight
  E minorEm
I know I'd be a hell of a sight
 G+G          A augmentedA        D MajorD
Covered in Arkansas clay from head to toe
   D MajorD
If I told you once
I told you twice
   E minorEm
You better not touch my Clementine
   G+G               A augmentedA
But you didn't listen, now you're fillin' up this hole

🎸 Chorus:
   D MajorD              E minorEm
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
G+G         A augmentedA         D MajorD
In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her
   D MajorD
So tonight I lay me down to sleep
   E minorEm
And pray my soul and my secret to keep
     G+G  A augmentedA     D MajorD
Between you, me and the river

D MajorD


🎸 Verse 2:
    D MajorD
It's been a long week working overtime
    E minorEm
That's why I got home early tonight
      G+G      A augmentedA
And when I saw your car
I could smell the trouble
  D MajorD
So I turned off my h adlights
       E minorEm
And saw your silhouettes through candlelight
  G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD
And I w nt to the shed to get my shovel

🎸 Chorus:
   D MajorD              E minorEm
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
G+G         A augmentedA         D MajorD
In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her
   D MajorD
So tonight I lay me down to sleep
   E minorEm
And pray my soul and my secret to keep
     G+G  A augmentedA     D MajorD
Between you, me and the river

🎸 Verse 3:
     D MajorD
They're gonna come knockin', it's a matter of time
   E minorEm
The last goodbye, my alibi
      G+G       A augmentedA        D MajorD
And where Clementine ran off to, they'll wonder
     D MajorD
I won't tell 'em she's cheatin' on me
   E minorEm
But I'll smile at the memory
    G+G                D MajorD
Of my diamond on her hand as she went under

Between you, me and the river
     G+G  A augmentedA     D MajorD
Between you, me and the river
