"CLEMENTINE" by Bobby Darin

intro:



C-Am-Dm-G7-|-C-Am-Dm-G7-|


verse 1:

in a cavern, down by a canyon , excavating, for a mine
there liv[C]ed a miner, fr[Dm]om north car[G7]olina, and his[C] daughter, chubby Clementine
[C] [Dm][G7][C]
verse 2:

every mornin', just about dawnin', when the sun, began to shine
[C] [Dm] [G7][C]
y'know she would rouse up, wake all of them cows up, and walk them down, to her daddies mine
[C] [Dm][G7][C]
verse 3:

we took the footbridge, across the water, and though she weighed two-ninety-nine
( Tab from: h[C]ttp://www.guitartabs.cc[Dm]/tabs/b/bobby_darin/c[G7]lementine_crd.html[C] )
that bridge trembled, and dissassembled, dropped her in, to the foamy brine
[C] [Dm][G7][C]
verse 3:

cracked like thunder, you know she went under, blowing bubbles, down the line
[C] [Dm][G7][C]
now i'm no swimmer, but where she thinner, i might've saved that Clementine
[C] [Dm][G7][C]
verse 4:

she broke the record, way under water, we thought she, was doing fine
[C] [Dm] [G7][C]
i wasnt nervous, not until the service, that they held, for Clementine
[C] [Dm] [G7][C]
verse 5:

so hey ya sailor! way out on ya whaler, with your harpoon, your trusty line
[C] [Dm] [G7][C]
if she shows now, yell "there she blows" now, it just may be, chunky Clementine!
[C] [Dm][G7][C]

and thats all! yay! great classic song, have fun strumming along!
