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