Clementine
[C] [Dm] [G7] [C]
Verse 2
every mornin', just about dawnin', when the sun, began to shine
[C] [Dm] [G7] [C]
y'know she would rouse up, wake all of them cows up, and walk them down, to
her daddies mine
[C] [Dm] [G7]

Verse 3
we took the footbridge, across the water, and though she weighed
two-ninety-nine
[C] [Dm] [G7]
[C]
that bridge trembled, and dissassembled, dropped her in, to the foamy brine
[C] [Dm] [G7] [C]
Verse 3
cracked like thunder, you know she went under, blowing bubbles, down the
line
[C] [Dm] [G7] [C]
now i'm no swimmer, but where she thinner, i might've saved that Clementine
[C] [Dm] [G7] [C]
Verse 4
she broke the record, way under water, we thought she, was doing fine
[C] [Dm] [G7] [C]
i wasnt nervous, not until the service, that they held, for Clementine

Verse 5
so hey ya sailor! way out on ya whaler, with your harpoon, your trusty line

Clementine!
