C G7
My grandfather's clock
C F
Was too large for the shelf
C G7 C
So it stood ninety years on the floor
C G7 C F
It was taller by half then the old man himself
C G7 C
Though it weighed not a penny weight more
[Verse 2]
C
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
[Chorus]
C F C
Ninety years without slumbering
F C
Tick tock tick tock
F C
His life seconds numbering
F C
Tick tock tick tock
C G7 C F
But it stopped short never to go again
C G7 C
When the Old Man died
[Verse 2]
C
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
[Chorus]
C F C
Ninety years without slumbering
F C
Tick tock tick tock
F C
His life seconds numbering
F C
Tick tock tick tock
C G7 C F
But it stopped short never to go again
C G7 C
When the Old Man died
