GG Piano Chord 

In a cavern, in a canyon,
                  D7D7 Piano Chord 

Excavating for a mine,
GG Piano Chord 

Dwelt a miner, forty-niner,
        D7D7 Piano Chord 
         GG Piano Chord 

And his daughter Clementine.

Ritornello:
GG Piano Chord 

Oh my darling, oh my darling,
                D7D7 Piano Chord 

Oh my darling, Clementine!
GG Piano Chord 

You are lost and gone forever,
     D7D7 Piano Chord 
          GG Piano Chord 

Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

GG Piano Chord 

Light she was and like a fairy,
                   D7D7 Piano Chord 

And her shoes were number nine,
GG Piano Chord 

Herring boxes, without topses,
     D7D7 Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 

Sandals were for Clementine.

(Ritornello)

GG Piano Chord 

Drove she ducklings to the water
                   D7D7 Piano Chord 

Ev'ry morning just at nine,
GG Piano Chord 

Hit her foot against a splinter,
       D7D7 Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 

Fell into the foaming brine.

(Ritornello)

GG Piano Chord 

Ruby lips above the water,
                     D7D7 Piano Chord 

Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
GG Piano Chord 

But, alas, I was no swimmer,
       D7D7 Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 

So I lost my Clementine.

(Ritornello)
