KEY: Eb/PLAY: D
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 himGself
Though it Dweighed not a A7penny-weight Dmore;
It was Dbought on the morn; Of the dGay that he was bDorn
And was Dalways his tE7reasure and pA7ride
But it Dstopped A7short - neDver to B7go agEmain
When the Dold A7man Ddied.
DNinety years without slumbering
D(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock)
DHis life seconds numbering
D(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock)
It Dstopped A7short - Dnever to B7go aEmgain
When the Dold A7man Ddied.
My Dgrandfather A7said that of Dthose he could hire
Not a Dservant so faithA7ful he Dfound
For it wasted no A7time and had Dbut one deGsire
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 Dstopped A7short - Dnever to B7go agEmain
When the Dold A7man Ddied.
(Refrain:)
(Note - The following verse not on Johnny Cash's version.)
In Dwatching its pendA7ulum sDwing to and fGro
Many Dhours had he A7spent as a Dboy
And in Dchildhood and A7manhood, the Dclock seem to Gknow
And to Dshare both his A7grief and his Djoy.
For it Dstruck twenty four when he eGnter'd at the dDoor
With a Dblooming and E7beautiA7ful bride
But it Dstopped A7short - Dnever to B7go aEmgain
When the Dold A7man Ddied.
(Refrain:)
(Key change to E)
It Erang an aB7larm in the Edead of the Anight
An aElarm that for B7years had been Edumb
And we knew that his B7spirit was Epluming for Aflight
That his Ehour for deB7parture had Ecome.
Still the Eclock kept the Etime; with its' Asoft and muffled Echimes
As we Eproudly F#7stood by his sB7ide
But it Estopped B7short - Enever to C#7go aF#mgain
When the Eold B7man Edied.
(Refrain:)
ENinety years without slumbering
E(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock)
EHis life seconds numbering
E(Dah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock)
It Estopped B7short - Enever to C#7go aF#mgain
When the Eold B7man Edied.
(Tag:)
When the Eold B7man Edied.
