Verse
 
     A            E  
In a cavern, in a canyon, 
    Bm           F#m  
Excavating for a mine 
        A           E 
Dwelt a miner forty niner, 
        D              F#m 
And his daughter Clementine 

          A              E 
Light she was and like a fairy, 
        Bm                F#m 
And her shoes were number nine, 
        A              E 
Herring boxes, without topses, 
        D               F#m 
Sandals were for Clementine. 


A F#m Clementine, Clementine, A D Oh my darling, Clementine!
Verse A E Drove she ducklings to the water Bm F#m Ev'ry morning just at nine, A E Hit her foot there against a splinter, D F#m Fell into the foaming brine. A E Ruby lips above the water, Bm F#m Blowing bubbles, soft and fine, A E But, alas, I was no swimmer, D F#m So I lost my Clementine.
A F#m Clementine, Clementine, A D Oh my darling, Clementine!
Verse A E then the miner, 49er Bm F#m soon began to peak and pine A E thought he aughta join his daughter D F#m now he's left with clementine A E in my dreams she still does haunt me Bm F#m broken garments soaked in brine A E though in life I used to hug her D F#m in death i draw the line
A F#m Clementine, Clementine, A D Oh my darling, Clementine!
Verse A E How I missed her! How I missed her, Bm F#m How I missed my Clementine, A E so I kissed her little sister, D F#m and I forgot my Clementine.
A F#m Clementine, Clementine, A D Oh my darling, Clementine! A F#m clementine, clementine A D you are lost and gone, Clementine F#m clementine...
slide around in F#m
A F#m Clementine, Clementine, A D Oh my darling, Clementine! A F#m clementine, clementine A D you are lost and gone, Clementine
F#m
