In watching its [G7] pendulum [C] swing to and [F] fro many [C] hours had he [G7] spent while a [C] boy And in childhood and [G7] manhood the [C] clock seemed to [F] know and to [C] share both his [G7] grief and his [C] joy For it struck twenty-four when he [F] entered in the [C] door With a blooming and [D7] beautiful [G7] bride But it [C↓] stopped [G7↓] short [C↓] never to go [F↓] again when the [C] old [G7] man [C] died (repeat Chorus)

My grandfather [G7] said that of [C] those he could [F] hire not a [C] servant so [G7] faithful he [C] found For it wasted no [G7] time and had [C] but one de[F]sire at the [C] close of each [G7] week to be [C] wound And it kept on its face not a [F] frown upon its [C] face And its hand never [D7] hung by its G7] side But it [C↓] stopped [G7↓] short [C↓] never to go [F↓] again when the [C] old [G7] man [C] died (repeat Chorus)

It rang an [G7] alarm in the [C] dead of the [F] night an [C] alarm that for [G7] years had been [C] dumb And we knew that his [G7] spirit was [C] pluming his [F] flight that the [C] hour of [G7] departure had [C] come But the clock kept the time with its [F] soft and muffled [C] chime As we silently [D7] stood by his [G7] side But it [C↓] stopped [G7↓] short [C↓] never to go [F↓] again when the [C] old [G7] man [C] died (repeat Chorus) [G7] [C] China in Your Hand (19)
