Miss Annie's gonna sing a little song about the grandfather's clock.
It's a pretty long song, so we're just gonna sing the
first verse when the young man is born and the last verse when the old man dies.
So you have to fill in the middle [E] yourself, just get those lyrics, pretty good lyrics all of [A] them.
And a few [E] banjo players out there are playing this in the key of A, just capoed up two frets from standard [D] G tuning.
[A] You ready then?

My grandfather's clock was too large [D] for a shelf, [A] so I took [E] many years [A] on the clock.
It was taller by far than the old [D] man himself, [A] though it weighed [E] not a [A] fanny by far.
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born, and was always his treasure [E] and pride.
But [A] it stopped, [E] [A] never to [D] go again, [A] but made him bed and die.
Ninety years without slumbering, his life in slumbering.
But it [E] stopped, [A] never to [D] go again, [A] [E] [A] but made him bed and die.

It rang [E] an alarm [A] in the middle [D] of night, [A] an alarm [E] that he is [A] a good man.
And we knew that his spirit was loving [D] his life, [A] that his hour [E] of departure [A] had come.
Still a clock in the time, with a soft and muffled chime, as we saw him, he stood [E] by his side.
But [A] it stopped, never to [D] go again, but [A] made him [E] bed [A] and die.
Ninety years without slumbering, his life in slumbering.
Tick tock, tick tock, it's a short [D] sleep, [A] and we all [E] fall asleep.
