Intro is F#m with a bit of a hammer on the low A note #note# in-between sections the song finds it's grove by reverting to F#m for a couple of bars. As the song goes on, F#m stays for longer with slidey bits. These can be slid between E--0--2--5 or B--2-5-7-10 A--0--2--5 G--2-4-6-9- Verse A E In a cavern, in a canyon, Bm F#m Excavating for a mine A E Dwelt a miner forty niner, D F#m And his daughter Clementine A E Light she was and like a fairy, Bm F#m And her shoes were number nine, A E Herring boxes, without topses, D F#m Sandals were for Clementine. [Chorus:] A F#m Clementine, Clementine, A D Oh my darling, Clementine! Verse A E Drove she ducklings to the water Bm F#m Ev'ry morning just at nine, A E Hit her foot there against a splinter, D F#m Fell into the foaming brine. A E Ruby lips above the water, Bm F#m Blowing bubbles, soft and fine, A E But, alas, I was no swimmer, D F#m So I lost my Clementine. [Chorus:] A F#m Clementine, Clementine, A D Oh my darling, Clementine! Verse A E then the miner, 49er Bm F#m soon began to peak and pine A E thought he aughta join his daughter D F#m now he's left with clementine A E in my dreams she still does haunt me Bm F#m broken garments soaked in brine A E though in life I used to hug her D F#m in death i draw the line [Chorus:] A F#m Clementine, Clementine, A D Oh my darling, Clementine!
