-5 7 -6* 7 -7
My grand-fa-ther’s clock
7 -7 -8 8 -8 6
Was too large for the shelf
-7 -7 7 7 7 -6* 6 -6* 7
So it stood nine-ty years on the floor;
-5 -5 7 -6* 7 -7
It was tall-er by half
7 -7 -8 8 -8 6
Than the old man him-self,
-7 -7 7 7 7 -6* 6 -6* 7
Tho’ it weighed not a pen-ny-weight more.
7 -8 -9 -8 -7 7
It was bought on the morn
-6* 7 -7 7 -6* 6 -5
Of the day that he was born,
7 -8 -9 -8 -7 7 -6* 7 -7
And was al-ways his trea-sure and pride;

-5 -5 7 -7
But it stopped short
-8 -8 -8 8 -8 6
Nev-er to go a-gain,
-7 -7 7 -6*-7 7
When the old man died.
-5 -5 7 -5 -5 6 -5 -5
Nine-ty years with-out slum-ber-ing,
-4 -5 -4 -5
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
-5 7 -5 -5 6 -5 -5
His life sec-onds num-ber-ing,
-4 -5 -4 -5
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
-5 7 -7
It stopped short
-8 -8 -8 8 -8 6
Nev-er to go a-gain,
-7 -7 7 -6* 7
When the old man died.
