[Intro]

D
 
 
[Verse]

D
If it wasn't so dark 

Out here tonight

  Em
I know I'd be a 

Hell of a sight

G                   Asus4             
Covered in Arkansas clay
 
                D
From head to toe

D
If I told you once, 

I told you twice

    Em
You better not touch my Clementine

    G                             
But you didn't listen, now you're

 Asus4           D
 Fillin' up this hole
 
 
[Chorus]

D                               
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't 

     Em
that Mississippi muddy

        G                                     
In this town, well, yeah, 

A                       D
she takes what you give her

D
So tonight I lay me down to sleep

    Em
And pray my soul and 

My secret to keep

        G    A          D
Between you, me and the river
 
 
[Verse]

D
It's been a long week 

Working overtime

       Em
That's why I got home 

Early tonight

           G            
And when I saw your car 

A                 D
I could smell the trouble

D
So I turned off my hеadlights

             Em7
And saw your silhouettes 

Through candlelight

    G             A           
And I wеnt to the shed 
          D
To get my shovel
 
 
[Chorus]

D                              
Hey buddy, hey buddy, 

           Em7
Ain't that Mississippi muddy

        G                 A                     
In this town, well, yeah, 

A                       D
She takes what you give her

D
So tonight I lay me down to sleep

    Em7
And pray my soul and my 

Secret to keep

        G    A          D
Between you, me and the river

[Verse]

D
They're gonna come knockin',

 It's a matter of time

    Em
The last goodbye, my alibi

          G              A             
And where Clementine ran off

             D
 To, they'll wonder

D
I won't tell 'em 

She's cheatin' on me

    Em
But I'll smile at the memory

      G              A               
Of my diamond on her hand  

            D
As she went under
 
 
[Chorus]

D                                
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't 

     Em7
That Mississippi muddy
        G                 
In this town, well, yeah, 

A                       D
she takes what you give her

D
So tonight I lay me down to sleep

    Em7

Secret to keep

        G    A          D

        G    A          D
Between you, me and the river
