"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
CC7
verse 2:
every mornin', just about dawnin', when the sun, began to shine
CDC7
y'know she would rouse up, wake all of them cows up, and walk them down, to her daddies mine
CC7
verse 3:
we took the footbridge, across the water, and though she weighed two-ninety-nine
C Dm G7 C
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bobby_darin/clementine_crd.html )
that bridge trembled, and dissassembled, dropped her in, to the foamy brine
CC7
verse 3:
cracked like thunder, you know she went under, blowing bubbles, down the line
CC7
now i'm no swimmer, but where she thinner, i might've saved that Clementine
CC7
verse 4:
she broke the record, way under water, we thought she, was doing fine
CDC7
i wasnt nervous, not until the service, that they held, for Clementine
CDC7
verse 5:
so hey ya sailor! way out on ya whaler, with your harpoon, your trusty line
CDC7
if she shows now, yell "there she blows" now, it just may be, chunky Clementine!
CC7
and thats all! yay! great classic song, have fun strumming along!
