Grandfather's Clock
INTRO: DTick, DTock, DTick, DTock, DTick, DTock, DTick, DTock
DMy grandfather's A7clock was too Dlarge for the Gshelf
So it Dstood ninety A7years on the Dfloor
It was taller by A7half, than the Dold man him-Gself
Though it Dweighed not a A7penny-weight Dmore.
It was Dbought on the morn of the Gday that he was Dborn
And was Dalways his E7treasure and A7pride
But it D* stopped A7* short - Dnever to B7go a-Emgain
When the Dold A7man Ddied.
My Dgrandfather A7said that of Dthose he could hire
Not a Dservant so faith-A7ful he Dfound
For it wasted no A7time and had Dbut one de-Gsire
At the Dclose of each A7week to be Dwound
And it kept in its' place not a Gfrown upon its' Dface
And its' hands never E7hung by its A7side
But it D* stopped A7* short - Dnever to B7go a-Emgain
When the Dold A7man Ddied.
For it Dstruck twenty four when he Genter'd at the Ddoor
With a Dblooming and E7beau-A7tiful bride
But it D* stopped A7* short - Dnever to B7go a-Emgain
When the Dold A7man Ddied.
It Erang an a-B7larm in the Edead of the Anight
An a-Elarm that for B7years had been Edumb
And we knew that his B7spirit was Epluming for Aflight,
That his Ehour for de-B7parture had Ecome.
Still the Eclock kept the Etime, with its' Asoft and muffled Echimes
As we Eproudly F#7stood by his B7side
But it E* stopped B7* short - Enever to C#7go a-F#mgain
When the Eold B7man Edied.
ENinety years without slumbering, E(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!)
EHis life seconds numbering, E(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!)
It E* stopped B7* short - Enever to C#7go a-F#mgain
When the Eold B7man Edied.
When the Eold B7man Edied.
