Clementine Lyrics & Tabs by The Decemberists

Clementine

guitar chords lyrics

The Decemberists

You slept in your overalls
After the wrecking ball
Bereft you of house and home

And left you with sweet fuck all
So we got in your car
With our kickabout hearts
And we hollered out
"Sweet Clementine"
Tell your mom to marry us
A candle to carry us
With cans on your bicycle fenders
So sweet and hilarious
And we'll build us a home
Built of packaging foam
That will be there

And we'll build us a home
Built of packaging foam
That will be there
'Till after we die
And I'll play the clarinet
Use clam shells for castanets
We play with our bags on our shoulders
My sweet lady lioness
And I watch as you sleep
So indelibly deep
And I hum to you
"Sweet Clementine"
