Clementine

• G#

G# 				A#m 		F# 			D#m 
She heard a voice from so far away 		It told her her mother had gone away 
G# 				A#m 		F# 			D#m 
In the next room down the corridor 		Her baby started to cry 
G# 				A#m 		F# 			D#m 
Her whole life had just fell apart		There was nothing then the hurting started 
G# 				A#m 		F# 			D#m 
In her heavy head on her knees she prayed		could somebody help her 
 
 
G#  A#m  F#				G#  	       A#m  			F#	 
Clementine	It was never meant to be this way	It was never meant to be this way 
G#  A#m  F#				G#  	       A#m  			F#	 
Clementine	It was never meant to be this way	it was never meant to be this way 
	A#m  		F# 
If only I'd told you yesterday 
 
 
G# 				A#m 		F# 			D#m 
Got in her car and she sped away		Into the floodlit street down by your way 
G# 				A#m 		F# 			D#m 
As the sun rose by the morning dew		Well she returned in such a state 
G# 				A#m 		F# 			D#m 
Her baby knew not what was going on	But it could tell from her tears that  
G# 				A#m 		F# 			D#m 
something was wrong with mum		Desperation let out its final scream 
 
But our clementine didn't hear a damn thing 
 
 
G#  A#m  F#				G#  	       A#m  			F#	 
Clementine	It was never meant to be this way	It was never meant to be this way 
G#  A#m  F#				G#  	       A#m  			F#	 
Clementine	It was never meant to be this way	it was never meant to be this way 
	A#m  		F# 
If only I'd told you yesterday 
 
 
Into the mirror she stared at herself		Asked is that my life is that what I'm here for 
 
Her reflection chose not to respond		As she froze to the spot like a cold hard statue 
 
And bathed in her tears she said her time was through
