My Grandfather's clock was too tall for the shelf

D A7 D

So it stood ninety years on the floor

A7 D G

It was taller by half than the old man himself,

D A7 D

But it weighed not a penny weight more

D A7 D G

It was bought on the morn of the day he was born

d A7 D

And was always his pleasure and pride

D A7 D G

But it stopped short never to go again

D A7 D

When the old man died

D

Ninety years without slumbering tick tock tick tock

its life seconds numbering tick tock tick tock

D A7 D G

But it stopped short never to go again

D A7 D

When the old man died

D A7 D G

In childhood and manhood, the clock seemed to know

D A7 D

And to share both his grief and his joy

D A7 D G

For it struck twenty-four as he entered through the door,

D G D

With his blushing and beautiful bride,

D A7 D G

But it stopped short never to go again

D A7 D

When the old man died

D

Ninety years without slumbering tick tock tick tock

its life seconds numbering tick tock tick tock

D A7 D G

But it stopped short never to go again

D A7 D

When the old man died
