🎸 Intro:

Dm   Dm



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

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

D


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

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

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

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