Come on
B5

Pull back the curtain but make

B5
B
Bm
I'm a grandfather clockin'
B
everything you do
I'm seeing through you faultiness
B5
So sprinkle me but not
with saltiness
The ghetto taught me this
B
I fought for this, I fight for this,
I spend my life for this
B5
And if you put your brain to work it
B
ain't hard to decipher this
Counting down the days boy
B
closer to your doom
Time keeper for the Reaper,
the family heirloom
Like staring at my grandfather
B
clock inside my room
B5
It'll never miss a tick- tock,
B
it strikes everyday a noon
Every hour on the hour,
B5
B
it'll sing a tun e
B
Every half hour ot'll croon
and yell out at the moon
You can't escape the master time,
no one is immune
The hands of time will grab you
when the moments opportune
F#
No one
Verse 3
B
is immune
When the moments opportune
Verse 4
B
Carved from a tree trunk bark
What a wonderful work of art
Well I usually wear my sundial
but it don't work when it's
dark
(don't work when it's dark)
No electric parts spark as
mechanical as he is
He'll kindly say just wind me and then
B
show me where the key is
B
Then I go about my day and
I flow about the way
He never has nothing to say,
he just sits there on display
B
I seen one in the cafe,
one inside the cabaret
Timekeeper for the Reaper,
what a pretty price to pay
Chorus
Verse 5
B
So don't you bother knockin' at,
I'm a Grandfather clokin'
Everything you do,
I'm seeing through your masquerade
At midnight you will hear the serenade
and don't you be afraid
It's like clock work orange lemon
B
ade with the bottomless glass
B5
When it's time for that ass!!
Tick- tock

Tick- tock 2X
Bm
My Grandfather clock
B
I used to have this
Verse 6
coo- coo clock
that would bother my Grandfather clock
Never gave it no rest so I flew
over the top of the nest
B
And then at my request
I ask him to resign
He was never on time, one hour behind
At ten, he stuck at nine
B
But he did not fuck with mine
cause I murdered that machine
If you ever beat the clock you know
exactly what I mean
(exactly what I mean)
I hold my Grandfather clock in high esteem
My alarm clock screams cause he
knows how long it takes me
B
But my Grandfather clock leans
B5
B
over and he shakes me
And they both race against
time to see who will be
the first to wake me
B
But when I became awoke
my alarm clock was broke
And my Grandfather clock was
staring right down my throat
B
And he leaned a little bit closer
and he told and I quote:
"If you ever race against me, you
will surely come up short,"
B
He said, "I'm better than your
Timex, your Rolex or your Swatch
Your Fossil, Casio, Quartz,
your diamond studded watch,"
B
He said, "I control how
long you stay alive
I'ma tap you on you shoulder
at eleven fifty- five"
When the time arrives and
B
then and only then
you'll have your five minutes of funk
I said my final salutations as I
stepped amongst the monks
B
Then he took me exactly where
I stodd like he should
And I tried to reason with him and
I tried knocking on wood
B
B5
B
B5
But he said
