Clementine Lyrics & Tabs by Svavar Knútur
Clementine
guitar chords lyrics
Oh my darling Clementine,
how could I leave while you were sleeping?
Oh my darling Clementine,
I couldn't bear to hear you weeping.
You tried to teach me right from wrong,
and you tried to burn off all my bad ways.
But misery's a stubborn friend,
and she persists, in spite of good days.
So I sailed from your white sands,
on a ship of broken plans.
And your face was on my mind,
oh my darling Clementine.
Oh my lovely Clementine,
it's such a hell to be without you.
My soul tormented every night,
Oh my lovely Clementine,
it's such a hell to be without you.
My soul tormented every night,
and every day, I think about you.
I adored you foolish charm,
never meant to do you harm.
And your pain was on my mind.
Oh my darling Clementine.
Oh my precious Clementine,
I never dared to look behind me.
All this time I ran and ran,
and I ran aground,
and I pray you'll find me.
And with all the bad I've done,
I realize that you're the one.
And I hope you'll still be mine,
Oh my darling Clementine.
