A well known Western Folk Ballad, Clementine was written in the late 1800s.
The roots of the catchy melody go back to Spanish Ballads that Mexican miners were fond of during the California Gold Rush.
Here we present to you tablature of the basic melody, as well as a slightly more advanced version intended for Cigar Box Guitars tuned to Open G (GDG).
This can also be applied to any of the other 1-5-1 tunings.
