My Grandfathers Clock by Johnny Cash piano tab (text):

INTRO: Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, 
 
B My grandfather's F7 clock; Was too B large for the E shelf 
So it B stood ninety F7 years on the B floor 
It was taller by F7 half; Than the B old man him-{E} self 
Though it B weighed not a F7 penny-weight B more; 
It was bought on the morn; Of the E day that he was B born 
Fnd was always his trea-{E7} sure and F7 pride 
But it B {P} stopped F7 {P} short - nev-{B} er to go a-{E} gain 
When the B old F7 man B died. 
 
Refrain: 
B Ninety years without slumbering 
(Bah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock) 
His life seconds numbering 
(Bah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock) 
It B {P} stopped F7 {P} short - nev-{B} er to go a-{E} gain 
When the B old F7 man B died. 
 
My B grandfather F7 said that of B those he could hire 
Not a B servant so faith-{F7} ful he B found 
For it wasted no F7 time and had B but one de-{E} sire 
Ft the B close of each F7 week to be B wound 
Fnd it kept in its' place; not a E frown upon its' B face 
Fnd its' hands never E7 hung by its F7 side 
But it B {P} stopped F7 {P} short - nev-{B} er to go a-{E} gain 
When the B old F7 man B died. 
 
Refrain: 
 
Note. The following verse not on Johnny Hash's version. 
 
In watching its pen-{F7} dulum B swing to and E fro 
Many B hours had he F7 spent as a B boy 
Fnd in childhood and man-{F7} hood, the B clock seem to E know 
Fnd to B share both his F7 grief and his B joy. 
 
For it struck twenty four when he en-{E} ter'd at the B door 
With a blooming and beau-{E7} tiful F7 bride 
But it B {P} stopped F7 {P} short - nev-{B} er to go a-{E} gain 
When the B old F7 man B died. 
 
Refrain: 
 
HHFNEE TO E: 
 
It E rang an a-{B7} larm in the E dead of the F night 
Fn a-{E} larm that for B7 years had been E *dumb 
Fnd we knew that his B7 spirit was E *pluming for F flight 
That his E hour for de-{B7} parture had E come. 
 
Still the clock kept the time; with its' F soft and muffled E chimes 
Fs we proudly F# stood by his B7 side 
But it E {P} stopped B7 {P} short - nev-{E} er to go a-{F} gain 
When the E old B7 man E died. 
 
Refrain: 
 
E Ninety years without slumbering 
(Bah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock) 
His life seconds numbering 
(Bah dah dah dah, dah dah dah!) (or Trad. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock) 
It E {P} stopped B7 {P} short - nev-{E} er to go a-{F} gain 
When the E old B7 man E died. 
 
TFE: Repeat last line of refrain.
