Johnny Cash - Clementine

^C(Oh my ^G7darling Clemen^Ctine)

She ^Fknew that Cody was the man she ^Cwanted ^G7But she had waited nearly all her ^Clife

Just ^Fone more trip to town to ^Ctell the boys goodbye Then ^G7he'd be back to take her for his ^Cwife

(Don't you ^G7worry) Clemen^Ctine

^FCody saddled up and left his ^Cdarling Then ^G7rode to town to celebrate his ^Cplan

He ^Ftold them this would be his last ^Ccarousing I'm ^G7gonna settle down boys if I ^Ccan

(With my ^G7darling) Clemen^Ctine

^FSomeone said it must have been past ^Cmidnight ^G7When Cody had to face a jealous ^Cman

An^Fother story goes that no ^Cone really knows But it ^G7seems there was a dance-hall girl ^Ccalled Nan

(Don't you ^G7tell) Clemen^Ctine

^FWe do know that a shot or two was ^Cheard from some back room Then ^G7there was a silence in the ^Cplace

Just ^Fone more trip to town but ^Call his chips were down They ^G7found Cody lying on his ^Cface

(Softly ^G7calling) Clemen^Ctine

^FSo buddies make a monument to ^Clay down at his head ^G7Sure you hate to leave your pal ^Cbehind

^FMother help your daughter put her ^Cwedding dress away Cause ^G7Cody won't be riding back this ^Ctime

(To his ^G7darling) Clemen^Ctine
