My Grandfather's Clock Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

GMy grandfather's Dclock

Was too lGarge for the Cshelf

So it Gstood ninety Dyears on the fGloor

It was taller by Dhalf than the the Gold man himCself

Though it Gweighed not a Dpennyweights Gmore

Verse 2

It was Gbought on the morn

Of the Cday that he was Gborn

And was always his Apleasure and Dpride

But it sGtopped Dshort

GNever to go Cagain

When the Gold Dman dGied

Verse 3

Ninety years without slumbering

His life seconds numbering

It stopped, short never to go again

When the old man died

Verse 4

My grandfather said that of those he could hire

Not a servant so faithful he found

For it wasted no time and had but one desire

At the close of each week to be wound

Verse 5

And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face

And its hands never hung by its side

But it stopped short, never to go again

When the old man died

Verse 6

It rang and alarmed in the dead of the night

An alarm that for years had been dumb

And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight

That his hour for departure had come

Verse 7

Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime

As we silently stood by his side

But it stopped short, never to go again

When the old man died

Verse 8

Ninety years without slumbering

His life seconds numbering

It stopped short, never to go again

When the old man died
