Grandfather's Clock Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]My grandfather's [D]clock
was too big [G]for the [C]shelf
So it [G]stood ninety [D]years [Bm]on the [G]floor
It was [F#]taller [G]by [D]half
than the [G]old [C]man himself
Though it [G]weighed not a
[Bm]penny[G]weight more
It was [F#]bought on the morn
of the day that [G]he was born
and was always his [A]treasure and [D]pride.
[G]But [F#]it stopped short,
never to [B]go again
[C]when the old[F#] man[C#] died[F#].
[F#]Ninety years without slumbering,
[F#]his life's seconds numbering.
It [F#]stopped, sure,
[F#]never to go ag[B]ain
when the [F#]old man d[F#]ied.
[G]In watching its pen[D]dulum
swing [G]to and [C]fro,
many [G]years had he spent [B]while a [G]boy.
And in childhood and [D]manhood
the [G]clock seemed [C]to know
and to [F#]share [Bm]both his [D]grief and [G]his joy.
For it struck twenty -four
when [D]he entered at the door
[G]with a blooming and [D]beautiful bride.
But [F#]it s[G]topped short,
[Bm]nev [F#]er to [B]go again
when the [F#]old m[C#]an died.
[F#]Ninety years without slumbering,
[F#]his life seconds numbering.
It's tough, sure,
[F#]never to go ag[B]ain
when the [F#]old man d[F#]ies.[G]
