My (C baritone chordC)grandfather's (G7 baritone chordG7)clock was too (C baritone chordC)tall for the (F baritone chordF)shelf, 
so it (C baritone chordC)stood ninety (G7 baritone chordG7)years on the (C baritone chordC)floor. (C baritone chordC)
It was (C baritone chordC)taller by (G7 baritone chordG7)half than the (C baritone chordC)old man him(F baritone chordF)self,
Though it (C baritone chordC)weighed not a (G7 baritone chordG7)pennyweight (C baritone chordC)more. (C baritone chordC)

It was (C baritone chordC)bought on the (C7 baritone chordC7)morn' of the (F baritone chordF)day that he was (C baritone chordC)born,
It was (C baritone chordC)always his (C baritone chordC)treasure and (G7 baritone chordG7)pride,
But it (C baritone chordC)stopped, (G7 baritone chordG7)short, (C baritone chordC)never to go a(F baritone chordF)gain,
When the (C baritone chordC)old (G7 baritone chordG7)man (C baritone chordC)died.

CHORUS
Ninety (C baritone chordC)years without (F baritone chordF)slumber(C baritone chordC)ing, (tic toc tic toc)
His (C baritone chordC)life's seconds (F baritone chordF)number(C baritone chordC)ing, (tic toc tic toc)
But it (C baritone chordC)stopped, (G7 baritone chordG7)short, (C baritone chordC)never to go a(F baritone chordF)gain,
When the (C baritone chordC)old (G7 baritone chordG7)man (C baritone chordC)died.

In (C baritone chordC)watching its (G7 baritone chordG7)pendulum (C baritone chordC)swing to and (F baritone chordF)fro,
Many (C baritone chordC)hours he had (G7 baritone chordG7)spent when a (C baritone chordC)boy, (C baritone chordC)
And through (C baritone chordC)childhood and (G7 baritone chordG7)manhood, the (C baritone chordC)clock seemed to (F baritone chordF)know,
And to (C baritone chordC)share both his (G7 baritone chordG7)grief and his (C baritone chordC)joy.

For it (C baritone chordC)struck twenty-(C7 baritone chordC7)four when he (F baritone chordF)entered at the (C baritone chordC)door,
With a (C baritone chordC)blooming and (C baritone chordC)beautiful (G7 baritone chordG7)bride,
But it (C baritone chordC)stopped, (G7 baritone chordG7)short, (C baritone chordC)never to go a(F baritone chordF)gain,
When the (C baritone chordC)old (G7 baritone chordG7)man (C baritone chordC)died.

(Repeat Chorus)

My (C baritone chordC)grandfather (G7 baritone chordG7)said that of (C baritone chordC)those he could (F baritone chordF)hire,
Not a (C baritone chordC)servant so (G7 baritone chordG7)faithful he'd (C baritone chordC)found, (C baritone chordC)
For it (C baritone chordC)kept perfect (G7 baritone chordG7)time and it (C baritone chordC)had one de(F baritone chordF)sire,
At the (C baritone chordC)close of each (G7 baritone chordG7)day to be (C baritone chordC)wound.

And it (C baritone chordC)kept to its (C7 baritone chordC7)place, not a (F baritone chordF)frown upon its (C baritone chordC)face,
And its (C baritone chordC)hands never (C baritone chordC)hung by its (G7 baritone chordG7)side,
But it (C baritone chordC)stopped, (G7 baritone chordG7)short, (C baritone chordC)never to go a(F baritone chordF)gain,
When the (C baritone chordC)old (G7 baritone chordG7)man (C baritone chordC)died.

(Repeat Chorus)

It (C baritone chordC)rang an a(G7 baritone chordG7)larm in the (C baritone chordC)still of the (F baritone chordF)night,
An a(C baritone chordC)larm that for (G7 baritone chordG7)years had been (C baritone chordC)dumb, (C baritone chordC)
And we (C baritone chordC)knew that his spirit was (C baritone chordC)pluming for (F baritone chordF)flight,
That his (C baritone chordC)hour of de(G7 baritone chordG7)parture had (C baritone chordC)come,

Still the (C baritone chordC)clock kept the (C7 baritone chordC7)time, with a (F baritone chordF)soft and muffled (C baritone chordC)chime,
As we (C baritone chordC)silently (C baritone chordC)stood by his (G7 baritone chordG7)side,
But it (C baritone chordC)stopped, (G7 baritone chordG7)short, (C baritone chordC)never to go a(F baritone chordF)gain,
When the (C baritone chordC)old (G7 baritone chordG7)man (C baritone chordC)died.
