My [C] Grandfather's [G] clock was too [Am] large for the [F] shelf,
So it [C] stood ninety [G] years on the [C] floor.
It was [C] taller by [G] half than the [Am] old man [F] himself,
Though it [C] weighed not a [G] pennyweight [C] more.
It was [C] bought on the [Am] morn of the [Dm] day he was [G] born,
And twas [C] always his [Am] treasure and [Dm] pride[G] ,
But it [C] stopped [G] short, [Am] never to go [F] again, when the [C] old [G] man [C] died.
Ninety [C] years without slumbering, tick, tock, tick, tock,
It's [C] life seconds numbering, tick tock, tick, tock,
But it [C] stopped [G] short, [Am] never to go [F] again, when the [C] old [G] man [C] died.
In [C] watching its [G] pendulum [Am] swing to and [F] fro,
Many [C] hours had he [G] spent as a [C] boy.
And in [C] childhood and [G] manhood the [Am] clock seemed to [F] know,
And it [C] shared both his [G] sorrow and [C] joy.
For it [C] struck twenty-[Am] four when he [Dm] entered the [G] door,
With a [C] blooming and [Am] beautiful [Dm] bride[G] ,
But it [C] stopped [G] short, [Am] never to go [F] again, when the [C] old [G] man [C] died.
