My grandfather's clock
C F
Was too large for the shelf
C G7 C
So it stood ninety years on the floor
G7 C F
It was taller by half then the old man himself
C G7 C
Though it weighed not a penny weights more
It was bought on the morn
F C
Of the day that he was born
D7 G7
And was always his pleasure and pride
C G7 C F
But it stopped short never to go again
C G7 C
When the Old Man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick tock tick tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick tock tick tock
C G7 C F
But stopped short never to go again
