Clementine (CHORDS) by Cliff Eberhardt

[Intro]~
G    D    G


[Verse 1]~
In a cavern,.. in a canyon

                D7
Excavating for a mine

       C            G
Dwelt a miner,.. forty-niner

       D7             G
And his daughter Clementine


[Chorus]~
     G
Oh my darling,.. oh my darling

                   D7
Oh my darling Clementine

       C                G
You are lost and gone forever

        D7           G
Dreadful sorry,.. Clementine


[Verse 2]~
         G
Light she was,.. like a feather

                         D7
And her shoes were number nine

       C             G
Herring boxes without topses

       D7             G
Sandals were for Clementine


[Chorus]~
     G
Oh my darling,.. oh my darling

                   D7
Oh my darling Clementine

       C                G
You are lost and gone forever

        D7           G
Dreadful sorry,.. Clementine


[Verse 3]~
         G
Drove she ducklings to the water

                     D7
Every morning just at nine

       C              G
Hit her foot against a splinter

      D7             G
Fell into the foaming brine


[Chorus]~
     G
Oh my darling,.. oh my darling

                   D7
Oh my darling Clementine

       C                G
You are lost and gone forever

        D7           G
Dreadful sorry,.. Clementine


[Verse 4]~
    G
Ruby lips above the water


                        D7
Blowing bubbles soft and fine

    C             G
But alas,.. I was no swimmer

       D7           G
Neither was my Clementine


[Chorus]~
     G
Oh my darling,.. oh my darling

                   D7
Oh my darling Clementine

       C                G
You are lost and gone forever

        D7           G
Dreadful sorry,.. Clementine


[Verse 5]~
    G
In a churchyard near the canyon


                        D7
Where the myrtle doth entwine

          C               G
There grow rosies and some posies

    D7             G
Fertilized by Clementine


[Chorus]~
     G
Oh my darling,.. oh my darling

                   D7
Oh my darling Clementine

       C                G
You are lost and gone forever

        D7           G
Dreadful sorry,.. Clementine


[Chorus]~
     G
Oh my darling,.. oh my darling

                   D7
Oh my darling Clementine

       C                G
You are lost and gone forever

        D7           G
Dreadful sorry,.. Clementine
