GRANDFATHER’S CLOCK (D-A7-G) – (4/4)

By Henry Clay Work

My [D] grandfather’s [A7] clock was too [D] tall for the [G] shelf So it [D] stood ninety [A7] years on the [D] floor.

It was [D] taller by [A7] half than the [D] old man him-[G]-self,

Tho’ it [D] weighed not a [A7] pennyweight [D] more.

It was [D] bought on the morn of the [A7] day that he was born,

And was [D] always his treasure and [A7] pride, but it …

Chorus:

[D] stopped [A7] short [D] never to go [G] again, when the [D] old [A7] man [D] died.

Ninety [D] years without [G] slumber-[D]-ing, tick, tock, tick, tock,

His [D] life seconds [G] number-[D]-ing, tick, tock, tick, tock,

[D] It stopped [A7] short [D] never to go [G] again when the [D] old [A7] man [D] died.

In [D] watching its [A7] pendulum [D] swing to and [G] fro

Many [D] hours he [A7] spent as a [D] boy.

And in [D] childhood and [A7] manhood the [D] clock seemed to [G] know

And to [D] share in his [A7] grief and his [D] joy

For it [D] struck twenty-four when he [A7] entered at the door

With his [D] blooming and beautiful [A7] bride, but it…

Chorus

My [D] grandfather [A7] said of [D] those he could [G] hire,

Not a [D] servant so [A7] faithful he [D] found.

For it [D] wasted no [A7] time and had [D] but one de-[G]-sire

At the [D] end of each [A7] week to be [D] wound

And it [D] kept in its place, not a [A7] frown upon its face,

And it’s [D] hands never hung by its [A7] side, But it…

Chorus

It [D] rang an [A7] alarm in the [D] dead of the [G] night

An [D] alarm that for [A7] years had been [D] dumb;

And we [D] knew that his [A7] spirit was [D] plumbing its [G] flight,

That his [D] hour of depar-[A7]-ture had [D] come.

Still the [D] clock kept the time, with a [A7] still and muffled chime,

As we [D] silently stood by his [A7] side, but it…

I've [C] seen your flag on the [F] marble [G] arch

But [Am] love's not some kind of [F] victory march

No it's a [G] cold and it's a very [E7] broken halle-[Am]-lujah

Chorus:

[C] Maybe there’s a [Am] God above

[C] But all I’ve ever [Am] learned from love

Was [F] how to shoot some-[G]-body who out-[C]-drew you [G]

It’s [C] not a cry that you [F] hear at [G] night

It’s [Am] not somebody who’s [F] seen the light

It’s a [G] cold and it’s a [E7] broken halle-[Am]-lujah

NOBODY KNOWS YOU … (C-F-G7,10 more) – (4/4)

By Jimmy Cox

[C] Once I lived the [E7] life of a [A7] millionaire [Dm] Spent all my [A7] money, and [Dm] I did [A7] not [Dm] care [F] Takin’ my [F#dim] friends out for a [C] mighty fine [A7] time [A7] Buyin’[D7] bootleg liquor, [G7] champagne and wine

[C] Then I be-[E7] gan to [A7] fall so low [Dm] Didn’t have a [A7] friend, and no [Dm] place [A7] to [Dm] go If I [F] ever I get my [F#dim] hands on a [C] dollar a-[A7]- gain [A7] I'm gonna [D7] hold on to it till that [G7] eagle grins

'Cause [C] no-[E7]- body [A7] knows you [Dm] When you're [A7] down and [Dm] out [A7 – Dm] [F] In your [F#dim] pocket, [C] not one [A7] penny [D7] And as for friends, you [G7] haven’t any

But as [C] soon as you get [E7] back up on your [A7] feet again [Dm] Everybody [A7] wants to be your [Dm] long-[A7]-lost [Dm] friend [F] It's mighty [F#dim] strange, with-[C] out a [A7] doubt [D7] Nobody knows you when you're [G7] down and [C] out

I [F#dim] mean when you’re [D7] down [G7] and [C] out [C- B- Bb – C]

Notes:

The “Hawaiian” alternate D7 is helpful for chord transitions until the last verse.

For the last verse the barred D7 is needed because it becomes a moveable chord.

You can substitute G7 for F#dim – don’t play the fourth string.

For Optional Ending [C-B-Bb-C]: first play normal C, then play C in Bb position

starting on 3rd

fret, then slide down one fret at a time to B and Bb, then play normal

C.

Lampell, fourth verse unknown) – There are many variations and parodies

[G] There once was a union maid, she [C] never was a-[G]-fraid Of [D] goons and ginks and [G] company finks

and the [A] deputy sheriffs who [D] made the raid. She [G] went to the union hall when a [C] meeting it was [G] called, And [D] when the company [G] boys came 'round She [D] always stood her [G] ground.

Chorus: Oh, you [C] can't scare me, I'm sticking to the [G] union, I'm sticking to the [D] union, I'm sticking to the [G] union. Oh, you [C] can't scare me, I'm sticking to the [G] union, I'm sticking to the [D] union 'til the day I [G] die.

This [G] union maid was wise to the [C] tricks of company [G] spies, She [D] couldn't be fooled by a [G] company stool,

she'd [A] always organ-[D]-ize the guys. She [G] always got her way when she [C] struck for higher [G] pay. She'd [D] show her card to the [G] National Guard And [D] this is what she'd [G] say:

Chorus You [G] gals who want to be free, just [C] take a tip from [G] me; [D] Get you a man who's a [G] union man [A] and join the Ladies [D] Auxiliary [G] Married life ain't hard when you’ve [C] got a union [G] card, A [D] union man has a [G] happy life when he's [D] got a union [G] wife. Chorus We [G] modern union maids are [C] also not a-[G]-fraid, To [D] walk the line, leave [G] jobs behind, And [A] we’re not just the [D] Ladies Aid! We’ll [G] fight for equal pay, And [C] we will have our [G] say, We’re [D] workers too, the [G] same as you, And [D] union all the [G] way!” Chorus
