Riff 1
  Waking you up to close the bar

  The street's wet you can tell by the sound of the cars

  While he turns around the open sign

back to intro




MIDDLE 8:
 G                        A
  Though you're still her man
             D         E
  It seems a long time gone
 G*                       E
  Maybe the whole thing's wrong
 G                      A
  What if she thinks so, but just didn't say so


VERSE 2:
  You drink yourself into slo-mo
  Making an angel in the snow
  Anything to pass the time
  And keep that song out of your mind

CHORUS:
 Bb               G
  Oh my darling, oh my darling
        D             E
  Oh my darling Clementine
 G               A      D        Bb     G7
  Dreadful sorry, Clementiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnne
 G               A
  Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Repeat Intro X2 and end with this (this bit is from the live version
