_ _ _ _ [B] My grandfather's clock [G#m] was too large [E] for the shelf, [F#] so it stood ninety years [B] on the floor.
_ It was [F] taller by half [G#m] than the old [E] man himself, [F#] though it weighed not a [B] pennyweight more.
It was born [G#m] on the morn [C#m] of the day that [C#] he was born, [G#m] and was always his [C#] treasure and _ [F#] pride.
[B] But it stopped [F#] short, [B] never to [E] go again, [F#] when the old man _ [B] died.
Ninety years with that slumbering tick, tick, tock, his life seconds numbering tick, tock, tick, tock.
It stopped [F#] short, [B] never to [E] go again, [B] when the old man died.
In watching [F] his pendulum [G#m] swim [E] to and fro, [B] many hours had he spent while a boy.
And in childhood [A#m] a man [G#m] who the clock [E] seemed to know, [F#] and to share both his grief [B] and his joy.
For it was [G#m] twenty-four [C#m] when he entered at the door, [G#m] with a blooming and [C#] beautiful [F#] bride.
[B] But it stopped [F#] short, [B] never to [E] go again, [F#] when the old [B] man _ [A#] _ [G#m] died.
