Chords

[Verse 1]
     E
In a cavern, in a canyon

                  B7
Excavating for a mine

                      E
Lived a miner, forty-niner

         B7            E
And his daughter Clementine
[Chorus]
       E
Oh my darling, oh my darling

                      B7
Oh my darling, Clementine

                         E
You are lost and gone forever

          B7          E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
[Verse 2]
           E
Light she was and like a fairy

                           B7
And her shoes were number nine

                       E
Herring boxes, without topses

         B7             E
Sandals were for Clementine
[Chorus]
       E
Oh my darling, oh my darling

                      B7
Oh my darling, Clementine

                         E
You are lost and gone forever

          B7          E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
[Verse 3]
           E
Drove she ducklings to the water

                       B7
Every morning just at nine

                       E
Stubbed her toe upon a splinter

       B7              E
Fell into the foaming brine
[Chorus]
       E
Oh my darling, oh my darling

                      B7
Oh my darling, Clementine

                         E
You are lost and gone forever

          B7          E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
[Verse 4]
      E
Ruby lips above the water

                          B7
Blowing bubbles soft and fine

                   E
But alas, I was no swimmer

      B7           E
So I lost my Clementine
[Chorus]
       E
Oh my darling, oh my darling

                      B7
Oh my darling, Clementine

                         E
You are lost and gone forever

          B7          E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
[Verse 5]
           E
There's a churchyard, on the hillside

                            B7
Where the flowers grow and twine

                              E
There grow roses amongst the posies

      B7            E
Fertilized by Clementine
[Chorus]
       E
Oh my darling, oh my darling

                      B7
Oh my darling, Clementine

                         E
You are lost and gone forever

          B7          E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

       E
Oh my darling, oh my darling

                      B7
Oh my darling, Clementine

                         E
You are lost and gone forever

          B7          E
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
