Intro 1
(E flat major) (E flat major)
Verse 1
My (E flat major) grandfather's (B flat major) clock
was too large (E flat major) for the (A flat major) shelf
So it (E flat major) stood ninety (B flat major) years on the (E flat major) floor
It was taller by (B flat major) half than the (E flat major) old man him (A flat major) self
Though it (E flat major) weighed not a (B flat major) pennyweight (E flat major) more
It was bought on the morn
of the day (A flat major) that he was (E flat major) born
And was always his treasure and (B flat major) pride
But it (E flat major) stopped, (B flat major) short, (E flat major) never to go a (A flat major) gain
When the old (E flat major) (B flat major) man (E flat major) died

Chorus 1
Ninety (E flat major) years without slumbering
His life seconds numbering
It stopped, (B flat major) short, (E flat major) never to go a (A flat major) gain
When the old (E flat major) (B flat major) man (E flat major) died
Verse 2
My (E flat major) grandfather (B flat major) said
that of those (E flat major) he could (A flat major) hire
Not a (E flat major) servant so (B flat major) faithful he (E flat major) found
For it wasted no (B flat major) time and (E flat major) had but one de (A flat major) sire
At the (E flat major) close of each (B flat major) week to be wound (E flat major)
And it kept in its place,
not a (A flat major) frown upon its (E flat major) face
And its hands never hung by its (B flat major) side
But it (E flat major) stopped (B flat major) short, (E flat major) never to go a (A flat major) gain
When the old (E flat major) (B flat major) man (E flat major) died (F major)
Verse 3
It (F major) rang and a (C major) larmed in the (F major) dead of the night (B flat major)
An a (F major) larm that for (C major) years had been (F major) dumb
And we knew
that his (C major) spirit was (F major) pluming for (B flat major) flight
That his (F major) hour for de (C major) parture had (F major) come
Still the clock
kept the time with a soft (B flat major) and muffled (F major) chime
As we silently stood by his (C major) side
But it (F major) stopped (C major) short, (F major) never to go a (B flat major) gain
When the old (F major) (C major) man (F major) died
Chorus 2
Ninety (F major) years without slumbering
His life seconds numbering
It stopped (C major) short, (F major) never to go a (B flat major) gain
When the (F major) old (C major) man (F major) died (C major)
