"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
C Dm G7 C
there lived a miner, from north carolina, and his 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
C Dm G7 C
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bobby_darin/clementine_crd.html ]
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!
