Intro is F#m with a bit of a hammer on the low A note

As the song goes on, F#m stays for longer with slidey bits.
These can be slid between E--0--2--5 or B--2-5-7-10

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.
[Chorus:]
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.
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus:]
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.
[Chorus:]
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!]
[Chorus:]
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
