Bb/F F7 Bb
My [Bb] grandfather's [F7] clock
Was too [Bb] large for the [Eb] shelf,
So it [Bb/F] stood ninety [F7] years on the [Bb] floor;
It was [Bb] taller by [F7] half
Than the [Bb] old man him- [Eb] self,
Though it [Bb/F] weighed
Not a [F7] penny weight [Bb] more.
It was [Bb] bought on the morn,
Of the [Eb] day that he was [Bb] born,
And was [Bb] always his [C7]
Treasure and [F7] pride,
But it [Bb] stopped [F7] short [Bb]
Never to go a- [Eb] gain, [Cm]
When the [Bb/F] old [F7] man [Bb] died.
Ninety [Bb] years without slumbering.
(tick tock tick tock,)
His lifeseconds numbering,
(tick tock tick tock)
It [Bb] stopped [F7] short [Bb]
Never to go a- [Eb] gain, [Cm]
when the [Bb/F] old [F7] man [Bb] died.

In [Bb] watching it's [F7] pendulum [Bb]
Swing to and [Eb] fro,
many [Bb/F] hours had he [F7] spent while [Bb] boy;
In [Bb] childhood and [F7] manhood
The [Bb] clock seemed to [Eb] know,
And to [Bb/F] share both his [F7] grief
And his [Bb] joy.
For it [Bb] struck twenty four
When he [Eb] entered at the [Bb] door,
With a [Bb] blooming and [C7] beautiful [F7] bride,
But it [Bb] stopped [F7] short, [Bb]
Never to go a- [Eb] gain, [Cm]
When the [Bb/F] old [F7] man [Bb] died.
Many [Bb] years without slumbering
(tick tock tick tock)
His life seconds numbering,
(tick tock tick tock),
But it [Bb] stopped [F7] short, [Bb]
Never to go a- [Eb] gain, [Cm]
When the [Bb/F] old [F7] man [Bb] died.

My [Bb] grandfather [F7] said,
That of [Bb] those he could [Eb] hire
Not a [Bb/F] servant so [F7] faithful he [Bb] found.
For it [Bb] wasted no [F7] time
And had [Bb] but one de- [Eb] sire,
And the [Bb/F] close of each [F7] week to be [Bb] wound.
And it [Bb] kept in its place,
Not a [Eb] frown upon its [Bb] face,
And its [Bb] hands
Never [C7] hung by its [F7] side.
But it [Bb] stopped [F7] short, [Bb]
Never to go a- [Eb] gain, [Cm]
When the [Bb/F] old [F7] man [Bb] died.
Ninety [Bb] years without slumbering,
(tick tock tick tock),
His life seconds numbering,
(tick tock tick tock),
But it [Bb] stopped [F7] short, [Bb]
Never to go a- [Eb] gain, [Cm]
When the [Bb/F] old [F7] man [Bb] died.
And it [Bb] kept in its [Bb/D] place,
Not a [Eb] frown upon its [Bb] face,
And its [Gm7] hands
Never [C7] hung by its [F7] side.
But it [Bb] stopped [F7] short, [Bb]
Never to go a- [Eb] gain, [Cm]
When the [Bb/F] old [F7] man [Bb] died.
But it [Bb] stopped [F7] short, [Bb]
Never to go a- [Eb] gain, [Cm]
When the [Bb/F] old [F7] man [Bb] died.
