I found the solution to allow Chrome clipboard usage... it's counter intuitive but it works.
You actually have to allow Microsoft Internet Explorer access to the clipboard and Chrome will inherit those settings.

1. Open IE
2. Go to "Tools...", "Internet Options"
3. Click "Security" Tab
4. Click "Custom level..."
5. Find "Allow Programmatic clipboard access"
6. OK
