Dear friends, pay your attention, please: I’m telling you an important secret about me!!

Yesterday, when I was singing “My darling Clementine” with Borja and Iñigo, a big emotion came over me and I was about to shed tears… Why? Oh, my friends… when I was younger, I was in love with Clementine for many years!!

On the left photo, you can see my old horse and I, talking to Clementine about my deepest feelings of love for her. On the right photo, you can see the poster of the John Ford movie “My darling Clementine” (1946). The song plays during its opening credits and also runs as a background of the whole story.

The song has a long history; so it has even an article in Wikipedia!! Each important song of the history of music has a lot of versions and fathers… Please, link here to study this topic, which is an essential part of your Jesuit formation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh_My_Darling,_Clementine.

Step 1: Learning song lyric

Well, the song lyric is very interesting for me, as the poor Clementine had a serious problem with her feet… Here you are the standard version:

In a cavern, in a canyon,excavatingfor a mine

Dwelt a minerfortyniner, and hisdaughterClementine

Oh mydarling, oh mydarling,Ohmydarling, Clementine!

You are lost and goneforeverdreadfulsorry, Clementine.

Light shewas and like a fairy, and hershoeswerenumbernine,

herring boxes, withouttopsies,sandalswereforClementine.

Oh mydarling…

DrovesheducklingstothewaterEverymorningjust at nine,

hit herfootagainst a splinter,fellintothefoamingbrine.

Oh mydarling…

Sawherlipsabovethewater,blowingbubbles, mightyfine,

but, alas! I was no swimmer, so I lostmyClementine.

Oh mydarling…

HowI missedher! How I missedher, How I missedmyClementine,

But I kissedherlittlesister,I forgot my Clementine.

Oh mydarling…

Step 2: Singing practice

Fantastic! Now, we’re singing together… One, two, three… Clic on the link!!

Step 3: Another level, playing song on the guitar!!

As we all play the guitar, I think we should learn the chords. I fall of you get it, I’ll play the song with my harmonic!!

Important: the girl who speaks in the video uses the american way. So, when she said “F”, is equivalent to “FA MAYOR; “G minor” is “SOL menor”, and “C7” is DO séptima”

And her rhythm on the guitar is equivalent to the second most famous rhythm in the world: our “pa-pa-pe-pa” (The most famous rythm is “pa-pa-pe-pe-pa-pe-pa”)
