[Verse 1]
G D [tab] G C Was too large for the shelf G D G So it stood ninety years on the floor G D G C It was taller by half than the old man himself G D G Though it weighed not a pennyweights more
[Verse 2]
G D It was bought on the morn C G Of the day that he was born G C D And was always his pleasure and pride G D But it stopped short G C Never to go again G D G When the old man died
[Verse 3]
G C G Ninety years without slumbering G C G His life seconds numbering G D G C It stopped, short never to go again G D G When the old man died
[Verse 4]
G D My grandfather said G C that of those he could hire G D G Not a servant so faithful he found G D G C For it wasted no time and had but one desire G D G At the close of each week to be wound
[Verse 5]
G D And it kept in its place, C G not a frown upon its face G C D And its hands never hung by its side G D But it stopped short, G C never to go again G D G When the old man died
[Verse 6]
G D It rang and alarmed G C in the dead of the night G D G An alarm that for years had been dumb G D G C And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight G D G That his hour for departure had come
[Verse 7]
G D Still the clock kept the time C G with a soft and muffled chime G C D As we silently stood by his side G D But it stopped short, G C never to go again G D G When the old man died
[Verse 8]
G C G Ninety years without slumbering G C G His life seconds numbering G D G C It stopped short, never to go again G D G When the old man died
