-5   7   -6*  7     -7
My grand-fa-ther's clock 
 7  -7   -8    8  -8    6
Was too large for the shelf 
-7 -7   7    7   7   -6*  6  -6*   7
So it stood nine-ty years on the floor; 
-5 -5   7  -6* 7   -7
It was tall-er by half 
 7   -7  -8   8  -8   6
Than the old man him-self, 
-7   -7    7     7  7 -6*  6  -6*    7
Tho' it weighed not a pen-ny-weight more. 
7  -8    -9   -8 -7   7
It was bought on the morn 
-6* 7  -7   7  -6*  6   -5
Of the day that he was born, 
 7  -8  -9  -8  -7   7   -6*   7   -7
And was al-ways his trea-sure and pride; 

-5  -5    7     -7
But it stopped short 
-8  -8 -8 8 -8  6
Nev-er to go a-gain, 
 -7  -7   7 -6*-7  7
When the old man died. 
 -5  -5   7    -5  -5   6   -5  -5
Nine-ty years with-out slum-ber-ing, 
 -4    -5    -4    -5
Tick, tock, tick, tock, 
-5   7   -5   -5   6  -5  -5
His life sec-onds num-ber-ing, 
 -4    -5    -4    -5
Tick, tock, tick, tock, 
-5    7     -7
It stopped short 
-8  -8 -8 8 -8  6
Nev-er to go a-gain, 
 -7  -7   7  -6*  7
When the old man died.
