-Capo 2nd fret-
 
Verse 1:
F                G
My grandfather's clock
 
         F            F
Was too large for the shelf
 
      F            G             F
So it stood ninety years on the floor
 
                 G                 F          F
It was taller by half than the the old man himself
 
          F             G            F
Though it weighed not a pennyweights more
 
 
Verse 2:
       F
It was bought on the morn
 
       F               F
Of the day that he was born
 
                   D            G
And was always his pleasure and pride
 
        F      G
But it stopped short
 
F           F
Never to go again
 
         F   G    F
When the old man died
 
Verse 3:
Ninety years without slumbering
His life seconds numbering
It stopped, short never to go again
When the old man died
 
Verse 4:
My grandfather said that of those he could hire
Not a servant so faithful he found
For it wasted no time and had but one desire
At the close of each week to be wound
 
Verse 5:
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face
And its hands never hung by its side
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died
 
Verse 6:
It rang and alarmed in the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
That his hour for departure had come
 
Verse 7:
Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime
As we silently stood by his side
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died
 
Verse 8:
Ninety years without slumbering
His life seconds numbering
It stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died
