i'm pretty sure this is right just figure out the strumming, after listening to
the song it shouldn't be too difficult.

Above is just an optional guitar part, you can figure out how it fits in if you
listen to the song, but the simplest way to play it is below:
 
 
[Verse]
G                                 G/F     Em
50 states, 50 lines, 50 crying all the time's
Em                                        C
50 boys, 50 lies, 50 "I'm gonna change my mind's"
C                                                         G
I changed my mind, I changed my mind now I'm feeling different
 
 
G                                                      Em
We were young, we were young, we were young we didn't care
Em                                             C
Is it gone? Is it gone? Is it floating in the air?
C                                                       G
I changed my mind, I changed my mind now I'm feeling different
 
 
[Chorus]
C/G       D    G
All that time, wasted
C/G     D                  G
I wish I was a little more delicate
G               G/F Em
I wish my, I wish my
Em                 C
I wish my, I wish my
C                  G
I wish my name was Clementine
 
 
[Verse]
G                                 G/F     Em
50 states, 50 lines, 50 crying all the time's
Em                                        C
50 boys, 50 lies, 50 "I'm gonna change my mind's"
C                                                         G
I changed my mind, I changed my mind now I'm feeling different
 
 
G                                              G/F    Em
We were young, we were young, we were young we didn't care
Em                                             C
Is it gone? is it gone? Oh it's floating in the air?
C                                                         G
I changed my mind, I changed my mind now I'm feeling different
 
 
[Chorus]
C/G      D     G
All that time, wasted
C/G    D                    G
I wish I was a little more delicate
G               G/F Em
I wish my, I wish my
Em                 C
I wish my, I wish my
C                  G
I wish my name was Clementine
 
 
C/G         D     G
Oh all that time, wasted             
C/G    D                   G
I wish I was a little more delicate
G               G/F Em
I wish my, I wish my
Em                 C
I wish my, I wish my
C                  G
I wish my name was Clementine

I believe where it says "G" at the beginning of the lines of the chorus, it should be a "C"...otherwise, it sounds right on. Thanks.
