Grandfather's Clock

(Part 1)
   G             D             G             C
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
      G            D            G       D
So it stood ninety years on the floor
       G         D             G       C
It was taller by half than the old man himself
       G             D              G        G      
And it weighed not a penny's weight more

(Part 2)
       G             G7           C           G
It was bought on the morn that my grandpa was born
        G          Em           Am7       D
And was always his treasure and pride
       G       D     G            C
But it stopped short never to go again
         G   D   G        G
When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering (TICK TOCK TICK TOCK)
    G              C    G
His life's seconds numbering (tic tac tic tac)
       G       D     G            C
But it stopped short never to go again
         G   D   G       G
When the old man died. 

SOLO: GUITAR (Parts 1 & 2)





   G           D            G              C
My grandfather said that of those he could hire
      G          D             G        D
Not a servant so faithful he'd found
       G         D           G             C
For it wasted no time and it had but one desire
       G             D          G       G
At the close of each week to be wound
       G           G7              C              G
Yes it kept in its place but not a frown upon its face
        G           Em          Am7    D
And its hands never hung by its side
       G       D     G            C
But it stopped short never to go again
         G   D   G     G
When the old man died 

SOLO: Fiddle (Parts 1 & 2)

        G        D           G           C
Then it rang an alarm in the dead of the night
    G             D              G       D
An alarm that for years had been dumb
       G             D          G           C
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
         G          D           G      G
That his hour for departure had come
        G              G7          C                G
Yes the clock kept the time With a soft and muffled chime
      G               Em             Am7      D
As we stood there and watched by his side
       G       D     G            C
But it stopped short never to go again
         G   D   G     G
When the old man died 

       G              C   G
Ninety years without slumbering (TICK TOCK TICK TOCK)
    G              C    G
His life's seconds numbering (tic tac tic tac)
       G       D     G            C
But it stopped short never to go again
         G   D   G       G
When the old man died.
