Clementine Chords by Johnny Cash

[C#] Oh my [G#] darlin' _ [C#] I
She [F#] knew that Cody was the [C#] man she wanted
_ [G#] But she had waited nearly [C#] all her life
_ [F#] Just one more trip to town
[C#] To tell the boys goodbye
[G#] Then he'd be back to take her [C#] for his wife
_ [G#] Don't you worry [C#] Lemon time
_ _ [F#] Cody saddled up and [C#] left his darlin'
Then [G#] rode to town to [C#] celebrate his plan
He [F#] told them this would be his last [C#]
carousin'
[G#] _ I'm gonna settle down [C#] boys if I can
_ [G#] With my darlin'
_ [C#] Clementine
_ _ [F#] Someone said it must have [C#] been past midnight
_ [G#] When Cody had to face [C#] a jealous man
_ _ [F#] Another story [C#] goes that no one really knows
[G#] But it seems there was a dancehall [C#] girl called Nan
[G#] Don't you say
_ _ [C#] Clementine
We [F#] do know that a shot or [C#] two was heard from some back [G#] room
Then there was a silence [C#] in the place
Just [F#] one more trip to town
[C#] But all his chips were [G#] down
They found Cody lying on [C#] his face _ [G#] Softly calling _ _ [C#] Clementine
_ [F#] So buddies make a monument [C#] to lay down at his head
[G#] Sure you hate to [Gm] leave your [C#] pal behind _
_ [F#] Mother help your daughter [C#] put her wedding dress away
[G#] Cause Cody won't be riding [C#] back this time
[G#] To his darlin'
_ _ _ [C#] _
