Song: | Clementine (Chromatic)
Verse 1: 4 4 4 3 6 6 6 5 In a cav-ern, in a can-yon, 5 6 7 7 -6 6 -5 ex-ca-vat-ing for a mine, -5 6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 5 Lived a min-er, for-ty nin-er, 5 6 -5 3 -4 -5 5 And his daugh-ter Clem-en-tine. Chorus: (Same tab as verse) Oh, my dar-ling, oh, my darling oh, my darling Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine. Verse 2: Light she was and like a fairy, and her shoes were number nine. Herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine. Chorus Verse 3: Drove her ducklings to the water every morning just at nine. Hit her foot against a splinter fell into the foaming brine. Chorus Verse 4: Ruby lips above the water blowing bubbles soft and fine. But alas, I was no swimmer so I lost my Clementine. Chorus Verse 5: Then the miner, forty-niner soon began to peak and pine. Thought he oughta join his daughter, now he�s with his Clementine. Chorus Verse 6: There�s a churchyard on the hillside where the flowers grow and twine. There grow roses, �mongst the posies fertilized by Clementine. Chorus Verse 7: In my dreams she still doth haunt me robed in garlands soaked in brine. Though in life I used to hug her now she�s dead, I draw the line. Chorus Verse 8: How I missed her, how I missed her how I missed my Clementine. Till I kissed her little sister and forgot my Clementine. Chorus Verse 9: Now you scouts may learn the moral of this little tale of mine. Artificial respiration would have saved my Clementine.
