[D] [A7] [D] [G]
My grandfather's clock; Was too large for the shelf
[D] [A7] [D]
So it stood ninety years on the floor
[A7] [D] [G]
It was taller by half; Than the old man himself
[D] [A7] [D]
Though it weighed not a penny-weight more;
[G] [D]
It was bought on the morn; Of the day that he was born
[E7] [A7]
And was always his treasure and pride
[D]But i[c]t sto[A7]pped [c] short [D] - never [G]to go again
[D] [A7] [D]
When the old man died.
(Refrain:)
[D]
Ninety years without slumbering
[D]
(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock)
[D]
His life seconds numbering
[D]
(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock)
[D]It st[c]opped[A7] sho[c]rt - [D] never to g[G]o again
[D] [A7] [D]
When the old man died.
[D] [A7] [D]
My grandfather said that of those he could hire
[D] [A7] [D]
Not a servant so faithful he found
[A7] [D] [G]
For it wasted no time and had but one desire
[D] [A7] [D]
At the close of each week to be wound
[G] [D]
And it kept in its' place; not a frown upon its' face
[E7] [A7]
And its' hands never hung by its side
[D]But i[c]t sto[A7]pped [c] short [D] - never [G]to go again
[D] [A7] [D]
When the old man died.
(Refrain:)
(Note - The following verse not on Johnny Cash's version.)
[A7] [D] [G]
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro
[D] [A7] [D]
Many hours had he spent as a boy
[A7] [D] [G]
And in childhood and manhood, the clock seem to know
[D] [A7] [D]
And to share both his grief and his joy.
[G] [D]
For it struck twenty four when he enter'd at the door
[E7] [A7]
With a blooming and beautiful bride
[D]But i[c]t sto[A7]pped [c] short [D] - never [G]to go again
[D] [A7] [D]
When the old man died.
(Refrain:)
(Key change to E)
[E] [B7] [E] [A]
It rang an alarm in the dead of the night
[E] [B7] [E]
An alarm that for years had been dumb
[B7] [E] [A]
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
[E] [B7] [E]
That his hour for departure had come.
[A] [E]
Still the clock kept the time; with its' soft and muffled chimes
[F#] [B7]
As we proudly stood by his side
E (tacet) B7 (tacet) E A
But it stopped short - never to go again
[E] [B7] [E]
When the old man died.
