Cliff Eberhardt - Clementine
[Intro]                       
G    D    G
[Verse 1]
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a D7mine
Dwelt a Cminer, forty-Gniner
And his D7daughter ClemenGtine
[Chorus]
Oh my Gdarling, oh my darling
Oh my darling ClemenD7tine 
You are Clost and gone forGever
Dreadful D7sorry, ClemenGtine
[Verse 2]
Light she Gwas, like a feather
And her shoes were number D7nine
Herring Cboxes without Gtopses
Sandals D7were for ClemenGtine
[Chorus]
Oh my Gdarling, oh my darling
Oh my darling ClemenD7tine 
You are Clost and gone forGever
Dreadful D7sorry, ClemenGtine
[Verse 3]
Drove she Gducklings to the water 
Every morning just at D7nine
Hit her Cfoot against a Gsplinter
Fell inD7to the foaming Gbrine
[Chorus]
Oh my Gdarling, oh my darling
Oh my darling ClemenD7tine 
You are Clost and gone forGever
Dreadful D7sorry, ClemenGtine
[Verse 4]
Ruby Glips above the water
Blowing bubbles soft and D7fine
But aClas, I was no Gswimmer
Neither D7was my ClemenGtine
[Chorus]
Oh my Gdarling, oh my darling
Oh my darling ClemenD7tine 
You are Clost and gone forGever
Dreadful D7sorry, ClemenGtine
[Verse 5]
In a Gchurchyard near the canyon 
Where the myrtle doth entD7wine
There grow Crosies and some Gposies
FertiD7lized by ClemenGtine
[Chorus]
Oh my Gdarling, oh my darling
Oh my darling ClemenD7tine 
You are Clost and gone forGever
Dreadful D7sorry, ClemenGtine
[Chorus]
Oh my Gdarling, oh my darling
Oh my darling ClemenD7tine 
You are Clost and gone forGever
Dreadful D7sorry, ClemenGtine
