(Oh my darling Clementine) 


    F                              C 
She knew that Cody was the man she wanted 

G7                                C 
But she had waited nearly all her life 

     F                        C 
Just one more trip to town to tell the boys goodbye 

     G7                               C 
Then he'd be back to take her for his wife 

           G7           C 
(Don't you worry) Clementine 


F                            C 
Cody saddled up and left his darling 

     G7                            C 
Then rode to town to celebrate his plan 

   F                                C 
He told them this would be his last carousing 

    G7                          C 
I'm gonna settle down boys if I can 

         G7             C 
(With my darling) Clementine 


F                                   C 
Someone said it must have been past midnight 

G7                              C 
When Cody had to face a jealous man 

  F                        C 
Another story goes that no one really knows 

       G7                                C 
But it seems there was a dance-hall girl called Nan 

           G7          C 
(Don't you tell) Clementine 


F                                 C 
We do know that a shot or two was heard from some back room 

     G7                         C 
Then there was a silence in the place 

     F                         C 
Just one more trip to town but all his chips were down 

     G7                      C 
They found Cody lying on his face 

        G7             C 
(Softly calling) Clementine 


F                             C 
So buddies make a monument to lay down at his head 

G7                              C 
Sure you hate to leave your pal behind 

F                                 C 
Mother help your daughter put her wedding dress away 

      G7                             C 
Cause Cody won't be riding back this time 

        G7             C 
(To his darling) Clementine
