INTRO: [D] Tick, [D] Tock, [D] Tick, [D] Tock, [D] Tick, [D] Tock, [D] Tick, [D] Tock
[D] My grandfather's [A7] clock was too [D] large for the [G] shelf
So it [D] stood ninety [A7] years on the [D] floor
It was taller by [A7] half, than the [D] old man him-[G]self
Though it [D] weighed not a [A7] penny-weight [D] more.
It was [D] bought on the morn of the [G] day that he was [D] born
And was [D] always his [E7] treasure and [A7] pride
But it [D]* stopped [A7]* short - [D] never to [B7] go a-[Em]gain
When the [D] old [A7] man [D] died.
My [D] grandfather [A7] said that of [D] those he could hire
Not a [D] servant so faith-[A7]ful he [D] found
For it wasted no [A7] time and had [D] but one de-[G]sire
At the [D] close of each [A7] week to be [D] wound
And it kept in its' place not a [G] frown upon its' [D] face
And its' hands never [E7] hung by its [A7] side
But it [D]* stopped [A7]* short - [D] never to [B7] go a-[Em]gain
When the [D] old [A7] man [D] died.
For it [D] struck twenty four when he [G] enter'd at the [D] door
With a [D] blooming and [E7] beau-[A7]tiful bride
But it [D]* stopped [A7]* short - [D] never to [B7] go a-[Em]gain
When the [D] old [A7] man [D] died.
Key change to E
It [E] rang an a-[B7]larm in the [E] dead of the [A] night
An a-[E]larm that for [B7] years had been [E] dumb
And we knew that his [B7] spirit was [E] pluming for [A] flight,
That his [E] hour for de-[B7]parture had [E] come.
Still the [E] clock kept the [E] time, with its' [A] soft and muffled [E] chimes
As we [E] proudly [F#7] stood by his [B7] side
But it [E]* stopped [B7]* short - [E] never to [C#7] go a-[F#m]gain
When the [E] old [B7] man [E] died.
[E] Ninety years without slumbering, [E] (Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!)
[E] His life seconds numbering, [E] (Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!)
It [E]* stopped [B7]* short - [E] never to [C#7] go a-[F#m]gain
When the [E] old [B7] man [E] died.
When the [E] old [B7] man [E] died.
