Oh My Darling, Clementine chords
Percy Montrose (1884)

* alternate

   G+G
In a cavern, in a canyon,
         D7D7
excavating for a mine;
    C majorC      G+G
dwelt a miner, forty-niner,
    D7D7       G+G
and his daughter Clementine.

   G+G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
          D7D7
oh my darling Clementine
    C majorC        G+G
You are lost and gone forever,
     D7D7      G+G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

     G+G
Light she was, and like a fairy,
             D7D7
And her shoes were number nine,
    C majorC       G+G
Herring boxes without topses,
    D7D7       G+G
Sandals were for Clementine.

   G+G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
          D7D7
oh my darling Clementine
    C majorC        G+G
You are lost and gone forever,
     D7D7      G+G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

    G+G
Walking lightly as a fairy,
               D7D7
Though her shoes were number nine,
     C majorC         G+G
Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping,
    D7D7       G+G
Lovely girl, my Clementine

   G+G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
          D7D7
oh my darling Clementine
    C majorC        G+G
You are lost and gone forever,
     D7D7      G+G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

     G+G
Drove she ducklings to the water
           D7D7
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
    C majorC       G+G
Hit her foot against a splinter,
    D7D7       G+G
Fell into the foaming brine.

   G+G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
          D7D7
oh my darling Clementine
    C majorC        G+G
You are lost and gone forever,
     D7D7      G+G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

   G+G
Ruby lips above the water,
             D7D7
Blowing bubbles soft and fine,
   C majorC       G+G
But alas, I was no swimmer,
    D7D7      G+G
Neither was my Clementine.

   G+G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
          D7D7
oh my darling Clementine
    C majorC        G+G
You are lost and gone forever,
     D7D7      G+G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

   G+G
In a churchyard near the canyon,
             D7D7
Where the myrtle doth entwine,
      C majorC        G+G
There grow rosies and some posies,
   D7D7       G+G
Fertilized by Clementine.

   G+G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
          D7D7
oh my darling Clementine
    C majorC        G+G
You are lost and gone forever,
     D7D7      G+G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

     G+G
Then, the miner, forty-niner,
            D7D7
Soon began to fret and pine,
      C majorC        G+G
Thought he oughter join his daughter,

    D7D7       C majorC
So he's now with Clementine.

   G+G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
          D7D7
oh my darling Clementine
    C majorC        G+G
You are lost and gone forever,
     D7D7      G+G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

    G+G
I'm so lonely, lost without her,
            D7D7
Wish I'd had a fishing line,
    C majorC        G+G
Which I might have cast about her,
      D7D7       G+G
Might have saved my Clementine.

   G+G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
          D7D7
oh my darling Clementine
    C majorC        G+G
You are lost and gone forever,
     D7D7      G+G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

   G+G
In my dreams she still doth haunt me,
               D7D7
Robed in garments soaked with brine,
     C majorC       G+G
Then she rises from the waters,
   D7D7      G+G
And I kiss my Clementine.

   G+G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
          D7D7
oh my darling Clementine
    C majorC        G+G
You are lost and gone forever,
     D7D7      G+G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.

    G+G
Listen fellers, heed the warning
            D7D7
Of this tragic tale of mine,
  C majorC      G+G
Artificial respiration
      D7D7       G+G
Could have saved my Clementine.

   G+G
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
          D7D7
oh my darling Clementine
    C majorC        G+G
You are lost and gone forever,
     D7D7      G+G
dreadful sorry, Clementine.
   G+G
How I missed her, how I missed her,
           D7D7
How I missed my Clementine,
   C majorC         G+G
Til I kissed her little sister,

    D7D7      G+G
And forgot my Clementine.
