intro

( D G A ) x2

verse 1

D G A
you slept in your overalls
D G A
after the wrecking ball
D G A
bereft you of house and home
D G A
and left you with sweet fxxk – all

Bm
so we got in your car
G
with our kickabout hearts
Em A
and we hollered out ’sweet clementine’

D G A
tell your mom to marry us
D G A
a candle to carry us
D G A
with cans on our bicycle fenders
D G A
so sweet and hilarious

Bm
and we’ll find us a home
G
built of packaging foam
Em A
that will be there ’til after we die

and , i’ll play the clarinet
D G A
use clamshells for castinets

we play with our bags on our shoulders

and i watch as you sleep
G
so indelibly deep
Em A
and i hum to you sweet clementine
