[D]
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf, so it stood [A] mighty years on the floor.
[D]
It was taller by half than the old [G] man himself, [D] though it weighed not a penny weight more.
It was bought on the morn [G] of the day that he [D] was born, and was always his treasure [A] and pride.
[D] But it stopped [Dm] short, never to [G] go again, when the [A] old [D] man died.
Mighty years without slumbering, his life seconds numbering.
It stopped short, never to [G] go again, when the [A] old [D] man died.
My grandfather said that of those he could hire, not a servant [A] so faithful [D] he found.
For it [A] wasted no time, [Dm] and had but [G] one desire, [D] at the close of each week to be wound.
And it kept in its place, [G] not a frown [D] upon its face, and its hands never hung [A] by its side.
But it stopped short, never to [G] go again, when the [A] old man [D] died.
[E] It rang an alarm in the dead [A] of the night, [B] an alarm that for years [E] had been dumb.
And we knew [B] that his spirit [E] was blooming [A] for flight, [Bm] that his hour for departure [E] had come.
Still the clock kept the time, [A] with the soft and the [E] full chime, as we solidly [Bm] stood by his side.
But it [B] stopped short, [E] never to [A] go again, [E] when the old [B]
[E] man died.
Mighty years without slumbering, his life seconds numbering.
It stopped [B]
short, [E] never to go [A] again, when [E] the [B] old man died.
