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