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
