Verse 1
D
A
D
My grandfather's clock
G
was too large for the shelf,
D
so it stood ninety years on the floor.
A
D
It was taller by half
A
D
G
than the old man himself,
D
though it weighed not a
A
D
penny weight more.
It was bought on the morn of
E
A
the day that he was born,
D
A
and was always his treasure and pride.
D
A
D
But it stopped short,
never to go again,
A
D
when the old man died.
A
D
Ninety years without stumbling,
tick -tock, tick -tock,
his life seconds numbering,
tick -tock, tick -tock.
It stopped short, never to go again,
A
when the old man died.
D
A
D
In watching its pendulum
A
D
swing to and fro,
A
D
Many hours had he spent while a boy.
A
D
E
And in childhood and manhood
A
D
the clock seemed to know
A
D
And to share both his grief and his joy.
For it struck twenty -four
when he entered at the door
A
D
With a blooming and beautiful bride.
A
D
But it stopped, short, never to go again
A
D
when the old man died.
A
D
Ninety years without slumbering,
tick -tock, tick -tock,
his life seconds numbering,
tick -tock, tick -tock, it stopped short,
never to go again,
A
D
when the old man died.
Bb
D
Eb
My grandfather said that
of those he could hire
Bb
Eb
not a servant so faithful he found,
Bb
Eb
For it wasted no time,
D
Eb
but it had one desire
D
Eb
Bb
Eb
At the close of each week to be wound
G
Eb
And it kept in its place,
D
Bb
not a frown upon its face
Eb
Gm
Eb
D
Bb
And its hands never hung by its side
Eb
D
But it stopped, short,
Eb
nev er to go again
When the old man died
Bb
Eb
Like two years without slumbering,
Tick -tock, tick -tock,
his life seconds numbering,
Tick -tock, tick -tock, it stopped short,
Never to go again
Bb
Eb
when the old man died.
Bb
Eb
Bb
Eb
It rang an alarm in the dead of the night,
Bb
Eb
An alarm that for years had been dumb,
And we knew that his spirit
Bb
Eb
was pluming for flight,
Bb
Eb
that his hour of departure had come.
Gm
Eb
Still the clock kept the time
D
F
Bb
with a soft and muffled chime,
Gm
Eb
D
Eb
and we silently stood by its side.
Bb
Eb
But it stopped short,
never to go again,
Bb
when the old man died.
Eb
Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick -tock, tick -tock,
his life seconds numbering,
Tick -tock, tick -tock, he stopped short,
Eb
nev er to go again,
Eb
Bb
Eb
D
Eb
when the old man died.
