Grandfather's clock chords by

N/A
Verse 1
G

Tick -tock, tick -tock, tick -tock,

tick -tock
D

My grandfather's clock
G
C

was too large for the shelf
G
D
G

So it stood ninety years on the floor
D

It was taller by half
G
C

than the old man himself
G
D
G

Though it weighed not a pennyweight more

It was bought on the morn of the
D

day that he was born
G
D

and was always his treasure and pride.
G
D

But it stopped, shot,
G
C

never to go again
G
D
G

when the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering.

Tick -tock, tick -tock,

his life seconds numbering.

Tick -tock, tick -tock.
D
G
C

It stopped, shot, never to go again
G
D
G

when the old man died.

Tick -tock, tick -tock, tick -tock, tick -tock.
D

In watching its pendulum
G
C

swing to and fro,
G
D
G

many hours had he spent while a boy.
D

And in childhood and manhood
G
C

the clock seemed to know
G
D

and to share both his grief and his joy.
G

For it struck twenty -four
D

when he entered at the door
G
D

With a blooming and beautiful bride

But it stopped, short,
G
C

never to go again
G
D
G

When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering

Tick -tock, tick -tock

His life seconds numbering

Tick -tock, tick -tock
D
G
C

It stopped, shot, never to go again,
G
D
G

when the old man died.
D

D
G
D
G

D
G
C

It rang an alarm in the dead of the night,
G
D
G

an alarm that for years had been dumb.
D

And we knew that his spirit
G
C

was pluming for flight,
G
D
G

That his hour of departure had come.

Still the clock kept the time
D

with a soft and muffled chime,
G
D

As we silently stood by its side.
G
D

But it stopped, shot,
G
C

never to go again,
G
D
G

when the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering,

tick -tock, tick -tock,

his life's second slumbering,

tick -tock, tick -tock, he's stopped,
D
G
C

shot, never to go again
G
D
G

when the old man died.
G

Tick -tock. you

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
