Decemberists - Clementine Ukulele

(G C G) x2

VERSE 1

G                 C     G
You slept in your overalls
G          C         G
After the wrecking ball
G           C            G
Bereft you of house and home
G                    C        G
And left you with sweet f**k-all

CHORUS

       Bm
So we got in your car
           G
With our kickabout hearts
         Em                   A
And we hollered out 'sweet clementine'

VERSE 2

G                 C      G
Tell your mom to marry us
G            C    G
A candle to carry us
G               C         G
Cans on our bicycle fenders
G              C     G
So sweet and hilarious

CHORUS

Bm
And we'll find us a home
          G
Built of packaging foam
           Em                      A
That will be there 'til after we die

BRIDGE

(G C G)x5

VERSE 3

G                   C    G
And, I'll play the clarinet
G                     C    G
Use clamshells for castanets
G                 C                G
We play with our bags on our shoulders
G              G     A
My sweet lady lioness

CHORUS

       Bm
And I watch as you sleep
        G
So indelibly deep
       Em                     A
And I hum to you sweet clementine

(G C G) x5
