Chords for "Oh My Darling Clementine" - Guitar Song Lesson | 2 Chord Category | Andrew Rocks On

What's going on my fellow guitarists, my name is Andrew and this is Andrew Rocks On! _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So today we'll be learning the final nursery rhyme and the final song of our two chord
category, Oh My Darling Clementine.
Like I said in the last episode and the one before it, although this song and the other
two songs that have been taught in these first lessons are nursery rhymes, they're good
for your chord changes and they also introduce you to basic strumming patterns.
On top of that, there are virtually no songs that only use C and G.
This is the hardest
song of the bunch, however I'm confident you should be able to master it with a little practice.
Okay, let's get a closer look at our chords.
So again the chords we're using are [G] C and G. _
Quick recap if you've forgotten, C is first finger on the first fret, second string, second
finger on the second fret, fourth string, and third finger on the third [C] fret, fifth string.
That is your C.
[Bm] G [G] is second finger on the second fret, fifth string, third finger on
the third fret, sixth string, and pinky finger on the [G#] first [G] string, third fret.
That is your G.
_ _ Again, there's only two chords in this song, so as I've [A] said in the two other lessons that
we've done for this chord category, the transitions are easy, whether you're using your [D] simplified
versions, which at this point I would rather you try [G] the harder versions, you know, just
to get a little bit more experience, but you know, if you can't, that's fine.
As we said previously, [C] you take your first finger from the first fret, second string,
[A] take it off, and use your [G] pinky _ on the third fret, first string.
_ _ That is your chord transitions between C and G for the simplified versions.
And the harder ones, remember, [F] are you take your second and third finger, you move them
up one string to [C#] the fifth and the sixth string for your second and third fingers,
respectively, and then you take your pinky and put it [G] on third fret, _ first string.
[D] Then back to C, you move your second and third finger down one again, remove your pinky,
and replace it with [C#] your index on the first fret, [C] second string.
That is back to your C.
The _ _ _ chord progression in this song is also [B] fairly simple, but it's different from the
other songs we've [N] learned.
We play three bars of C, two bars [G] of G, [C] one bar of C, and [G] then one bar of G and [C] a final
strum of C.
It sounds complicated, but once I show [C#] you, it's a lot easier to understand.
Okay, I'll demonstrate with a simple [A] 4-4 strumming pattern.
So we play three [C] bars of C, 1-2-3-4.
First bar, 1-2-3-4.
1-2-3-4.
[G] That's three bars, then G, _ _ 1-2-3-4.
Back [C] to C, 1-2-3-4.
Back to G, [G] 1-2-3 [C]-4, and then one.
_ [C#] Let's try it together, okay?
We're going to do it slowly.
First bar of C, 1-2 [C]-3-4.
Let's go.
1-2-3-4.
1-2-3-4.
1-2-3-4.
1-2-3 [G]-4.
Now G, 1-2-3-4.
Second, 1-2-3.
Back to C, [C] 1-2-3 [G]-4.
Back to G, 1-2-3 [C]-4.
C. _
It may take some time [G] to get used to, but once you get it down, it's easy.
Trust me.
Okay, now let's talk about the strumming pattern.
[N] The strumming pattern in this song is a fairly simple 4-4 pattern, but it differs from the
other songs I've taught so far.
So I'm going to demonstrate the strumming pattern without the lyrics.
_ [C] _ Down, down, down, up, down, down, down, up.
Down, down, down, up, down, down, down, up.
_ As [N] you can tell, we'll be using up strokes for the first time in this song.
The strumming pattern is 1-2-3-4.
On the fourth beat, we strum upwards instead of downwards.
So down, down, down, up, down, down, down, up.
Another thing, on [D] the last or fifth bar we play a C.
It's only one strum, and then we
get into the next bar. [C#] the chorus.
So, wait, I'll demonstrate.
So it's three bars of C.
[C] So 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, and [G] then G, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, and
[C] then C, 1-2-3-4, G again, [G] 1-2-3-4, and then [C]
C.
And then we go into the chorus.
Oh my [N] darling.
It's simple when you get used to it.
Let's try it together.
I'm going to slow down and then progress to full speed.
Okay?
Alright, let's go.
_ [C] _
_ _ 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2 _ -3-4, 1-2-3 [G]-4, 1-2-3-4,
1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4,
[C] 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3 [N]-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4. Okay.
That is the strumming pattern for Oh My Darlin' Clementine.
Alright, let's try it altogether and I'll put the lyrics on the screen.
Okay.
Ready?
3-2 [C]-1-go.
In a cabin, in a canyon _ Excavating [G] for a mine
_ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ To [N] practice like with the other songs, I recommend you play along with the original track to
get the timing and chord changes down.
I will link a version I recommend in the description below.
If you also want the lyrics and chords, I will leave a link in the description that
leads you to the song sheet I have made to accompany this lesson.
