[Intro]
| N.C. | N.C. | D | D |
(ticktock-ticktock)
[Verse 1]
D A D G
My grandfather's clock, was too large for the shelf
D A D
So it stood ninety years on the floor
D A D G
It was taller by half, than the the old man himself
D A D
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
D G D
It was bought on the morn, of the day that he was born
D A
And was always his treasure and pride
A7 D A D G
But it stopped - short - never to go again
D A D
When the old - man - died
[Bridge]
D
Ninety years without slumbering... his life seconds numbering...
D A D G
It stopped - short - never to go again
D A D
When the old - man - died
[Verse 2]
D A D G
My grandfather said that of those he could hire
D A D
Not a servant so faithful he found
D A D G
For it wasted no time and had but one desire
D A D
At the close of each week to be wound
D G D
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face
D A
And its hands never hung by its side
A7 D A D G
But it stopped - short - never to go again
D A D E
When the old - man - died
[Verse 3]
E B7 E A
It rang and alarmed, in the dead of the night
E B7 E
An alarm that for years had been dumb
E B7 E A
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
E B7 E
That his hour for departure had come
E A E
Still the clock kept the time, with a soft and muffled chime
E B7
As we silently stood by his side
B7 E B7 E A
But it stopped - short - never to go again
E B7 E
When the old - man - died
[Bridge]
E
Ninety years without slumbering... his life seconds numbering...
E B7 E A
It stopped - short - never to go again
E B7 E
When the old - man - died
