[F#] [G#m] [F#] [G#m] My grandfather's [C#] clock was too [F#] large for the shelf, so it stood ninety years on the [C#] floor.
It was taller by [F#] far than the old man himself, though it weighed not a penny weight more.
It was bought [D#m] on the morn [F] of the day that he was born, [D#m] and was [G#m] always his [F#] pleasure and pride.
But it [C#] stopped short, never to [B] go again, [C#] when the old [F#] man died.
[A] [F#] Ninety years without slumbering, his [A#m] life seconds numbering.
Tick [E]-tock, tick [G#m]-tock, [F#] it stopped
[C#m] short, never to [B] go again, [C#] when the old [F#] man died.
In watching the pendulum swing to and fro, many hours he had spent as a [C#] boy.
[F#] In childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know, and it shared both his grief and his joy.
For it struck twenty [G#m]-four when [C#] he entered at [F#] the door, with a blooming [G#m] and beautiful bride.
[F#] But it stopped [C#] short, [B] never to go again, [C#] when the old [F#] man died.
Ninety years without slumbering, his life seconds [D#] numbering.
Tick [A#]-tock, tick [F#]-tock, it stopped [C#] short, [F#] never [G] to go [B] again, [F#] when the [C#] old [F#] man died.
