🎸 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          Asus4Asus4        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               Asus4Asus4      D MajorD
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


🎸 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         D MajorD
And when I saw your car I could smell the trouble
D MajorD
So I turned off my hеadlights
       E minor 7Em7
And saw your silhouettes through candlelight
  G+G       A augmentedA       D MajorD
And I wеnt to the shed to get my shovel

🎸 Chorus:
D MajorD                E minor 7Em7
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 minor 7Em7
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       A augmentedA        D MajorD
Of my diamond on her hand as she went under

In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her
D MajorD
So tonight I lay me down to sleep

And pray my soul and my secret to keep
    G+G  A augmentedA     D MajorD
Between you, me and the river
    G+G  A augmentedA     D MajorD
Between you, me and the river
