Clementine v1 Misc. Traditional
In a [C]cavern, in a canyon,
Exca-[G]vating for a mine
Dwelt a [F]miner forty [C]niner,
And his [G]daughter Clemen-[C]tine
Oh my [C]darling, oh my darling,
Oh my [G]darling, Clementine!
Thou art [F]lost and gone for-[C]ever
Dreadful [G]sorry, Clemen-[C]tine
Light she [C]was and like a fairy,
And her [G]shoes were number nine,
Herring [F]boxes, without [C]topses,
Sandals [G]were for Clemen-[C]tine.
(chous)
Drove she [C]ducklings to the water
Ev'ry [G]morning just at nine,
Hit her [F]foot against a [C]splinter,
Fell in-[G]to the foaming [C]brine.
(chorus)
Ruby [C]lips above the water,
Blowing [G]bubbles, soft and fine,
But, a-[F]las, I was no [C]swimmer
So I [G]lost my Clemen-[C]tine.
(chours)
How I [C]missed her! How I missed her,
How I [G]missed my Clementine,
But I [F]kissed her little [C]sister,
I for-[G]got my Clemen-[C]tine.
(chorus)

Chords: CGFCGC
Song works with just the chords or the single notes, but sounds best with a combination
of picking/strumming: pattern below gets the idea across - single strum on the first two
C's, a couple strums of the first two G's, and then just a simple down-up (du) strum
over the last 4 chords.
