C5 - A5 - D5 - G7- - C5 - A5 - D5 - G7-

verse 1:

in a cavern, down by a canyon , excavating, for a mine
         C5             D5          G5            C5
there lived a miner, from north carolina, and his daughter, chubby Clementine
                C5                    D5           G5                      C5

verse 2:

every mornin', just about dawnin', when the sun, began to shine  
        C5                D5                G5              C5

y'know she would rouse up, wake all of them cows up, and walk them down, to her daddies mine
                    C5                      D5                        G5                 C5

verse 3:

we took the footbridge, across the water, and though she weighed two-ninety-nine
             C5                      D5                   G5                C5

that bridge trembled, and dissassembled, dropped her in, to the foamy brine
             C5                      D5                G5                C5

verse 3:

cracked like thunder, you know she went under, blowing bubbles, down the line
             C5                          D5             G5                C5

now i'm no swimmer, but where she thinner, i might've saved that Clementine
            C5                       D5                 G5                C5

verse 4:

she broke the record, way under water, we thought she, was doing fine
               C5                 D5              G5              C5

i wasnt nervous, not until the service, that they held, for Clementine
            C5                    D5             G5                C5

verse 5:

so hey ya sailor! way out on ya whaler, with your harpoon, your trusty line
           C5                    D5                 G5                   C5

if she shows now, yell "there she blows" now, it just may be, chunky Clementine!
          C5                         D5                     G5               C5
