My Grandfather’s Clock

Verse 1

My [G]Grandfather's [D7]clock was too [G]large for the [C]shelf

So it [G]stood 90 [D7]years on the [G]floor

It was [G]taller by [D7]half than the [G]old man him-[C]self

Tho' it [G]weighed not a [D7]pennyweight [G]more [G]

It was [G]bought on the [A7]morn, of the [D7]day that he was [D7]born

And was [G]always his [A7]treasure and pride [D7]

Bridge

/ /

[NC]But it [G]stopped - [D7]short - [G]never to go a-[C]gain

When the [G]old [D7]man [G] died

/ / / /

90 [G]years without slumbering (tick tock tick tock)

/ / / /

His [G]life seconds numbering (tick tock tick tock)

/ /

But it stopped [G] short [D7] never to go a-[C]gain

When the [G]old [D7]man [G]died

Verse 2

In [G]watching its [D7]pendulum [G]swing to and [C]fro

Many [G]hours had he [D7]spent as a [G]boy [G]

And in [G]childhood and [D7]manhood the [G]clock seemed to [C]know

And to [G]share both his [D7]grief and his [G]joy [G]

For it [G]struck twenty-[A7]four when he [D7]entered at the [D7]door

With a [G]blooming and [A7]beautiful bride [D7]

Bridge

Verse 3

Then it [G]rang an a-[D7]larm in the [G]dead of the [C]night

An a-[G]larm that for [D7]years had been [G]dumb [G]

And we [G]knew that his [D7]spirit was [G]pluming its [C]flight

That his [G]hour of de-[D7]parture had [G]come [G]

Still the [G]clock kept the [A7]time, with a [D7]soft and muffled [D7]chime

As we [G]silently [A7]stood by his side [D7]

/ /

But it stopped [G] short [D7] never to go a-[C]gain

When the [G]old [D7]man [G]died
