intro:

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

verse 1:

in a cavern, down by a canyon , excavating, for a mine
         C (x32010@1)           Dm (xx0231@1)        G7 (320001@1)          Cthere (x32010@1)lived a miner, from north carolina, and his daughter, chubby Clementine
                C (x32010@1)                  Dm (xx0231@1)         G7 (320001@1)                    C (x32010@1)verse 2:

every mornin', just about dawnin', when the sun, began to shine  
        C (x32010@1)              Dm (xx0231@1)              G7 (320001@1)            C (x32010@1)y'know she would rouse up, wake all of them cows up, and walk them down, to her daddies mine
                    C (x32010@1)                    Dm (xx0231@1)                      G7 (320001@1)               C (x32010@1)verse 3:

we took the footbridge, across the water, and though she weighed two-ninety-nine
             C (x32010@1)                    Dm (xx0231@1)                 G7 (320001@1)              C (x32010@1)that bridge trembled, and dissassembled, dropped her in, to the foamy brine
             C (x32010@1)                    Dm (xx0231@1)              G7 (320001@1)              C (x32010@1)verse 3:

cracked like thunder, you know she went under, blowing bubbles, down the line
             C (x32010@1)                        Dm (xx0231@1)           G7 (320001@1)              C (x32010@1)now i'm no swimmer, but where she thinner, i might've saved that Clementine
            C (x32010@1)                     Dm (xx0231@1)               G7 (320001@1)              C (x32010@1)verse 4:

she broke the record, way under water, we thought she, was doing fine
               C (x32010@1)               Dm (xx0231@1)            G7 (320001@1)            C (x32010@1)i wasnt nervous, not until the service, that they held, for Clementine
            C (x32010@1)                  Dm (xx0231@1)           G7 (320001@1)              C (x32010@1)verse 5:

so hey ya sailor! way out on ya whaler, with your harpoon, your trusty line
           C (x32010@1)                  Dm (xx0231@1)               G7 (320001@1)                 C (x32010@1)if she shows now, yell "there she blows" now, it just may be, chunky Clementine!
          C (x32010@1)                       Dm (xx0231@1)                   G7 (320001@1)             C (x32010@1)
