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

In a ^Acavern, in a ^Ecanyon, Exca^Bmvating for a ^F#mmine Dwelt a ^Aminer forty ^Eniner, And his ^Ddaughter Clemen^F#mtine

Light she ^Awas and like a ^Efairy, And her ^Bmshoes were number ^F#mnine, Herring ^Aboxes, without ^Etopses, Sandals ^Dwere for Clement^F#mine.

[Chorus:]

Clemen^Atine, Clementin^F#me, Oh my ^Adarling, Clementine^D!

Verse

Drove she ^Aducklings to the ^Ewater Ev'ry ^Bmmorning just at ^F#mnine, Hit her ^Afoot there against a s^Eplinter, Fell in^Dto the foaming ^F#mbrine.

Ruby ^Alips above the ^Ewater, Blowing ^Bmbubbles, soft and ^F#mfine, But, a^Alas, I was no ^Eswimmer, So I ^Dlost my Clemen^F#mtine.

[Chorus:]

Clemen^Atine, Clementin^F#me, Oh my ^Adarling, Clementine^D!

Verse

then the ^Aminer, 4^E9er soon be^Bmgan to peak and ^F#mpine thought he ^Aaughta join his ^Edaughter now he's ^Dleft with clemen^F#mtine

in my ^Adreams she still does ^Ehaunt me broken ^Bmgarments soaked in ^F#mbrine though in ^Alife I used to ^Ehug her in ^Ddeath i draw the ^F#mline

[Chorus:]

Clemen^Atine, Clementin^F#me, Oh my ^Adarling, Clementine^D!

Verse

How I ^Amissed her! How I ^Emissed her, How I ^Bmmissed my Clemen^F#mtine, so I k^Aissed her little s^Eister, and I for^Dgot my Clemen^F#mtine.

[Chorus:]

Clemen^Atine, Clementin^F#me, Oh my ^Adarling, Clementine^D! clemen^Atine, clementine^F#m you are l^Aost and gone, Clementine^D clementine...^F#m

[slide around in F#m!] [Chorus:]

Clemen^Atine, Clementin^F#me, Oh my ^Adarling, Clementine^D! clemen^Atine, clementin^F#me you are l^Aost and gone, Clementine^D
