Intro: Hang out in F#m
Verse
F#m In a A cavern in a E canyon exca-Bm-vating for a F#m mine
F#m Dwelt a A miner forty-E-niner and his D daughter Clemin-F#m-tine
F#m
F#m Light she A was and like a E fairy and her Bm shoes were number F#m nine,
F#m Herring A boxes, without E topses, sandals D were for Clemen-F#m-tine.
Chorus (different from Verse)
F#m Clemin-A-tine. Clemin-F#m-tine. Oh my A darling, Clemin-D-tine.
Drove she ducklings to the water ev'ry morning just at nine,
Hit her foot there against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine.
Ruby lips above the water, blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
But, alas, I was no swimmer, so I lost my Clementine.
F#m Clemin-A-tine. Clemin-F#m-tine. Oh my A darling, Clemin-D-tine.
Then the miner, 49er soon began to peak and pine
thought he aughta join his daughter now he's left with clementine
in my dreams she still does haunt me broken garments soaked in brine
though in life I used to hug her in death i draw the line
F#m Clemin-A-tine. Clemin-F#m-tine. Oh my A darling, Clemin-D-tine.
How I missed her! How I missed her, how I missed my Clementine,
so I kissed her little sister, and I forgot my Clementine.
Clemen-A-tine, Clemen-F#m-tine, Oh my A darling, Clemen-D tine!
Clemen-A-tine, Clemen-F#m-tine you are A lost and gone, Clemen-D-tine
Clemen-F#m-tine...
<it's fine to end here, but you can throw in another round of pining for Clemintine>
