    Verse 1
    My 
    grandfather's 
    clock 

    was 
    too 
    large 
    for 
    the 
    shelf 

    So 
    it 
    stood 
    ninety 
    years 
    on 
    the 
    floor 

    It 
    was 
    taller 
    by 
    half 
    than 
    the 
    old 
    man 
    him
    self 

    Though 
    it 
    weighed 
    not 
    pennyweight 
    more 

    It 
    was 
    bought 
    on 
    the 
    morn 

    of 
    the 
    day 
    that 
    he 
    was 
    born 

    And 
    was 
    always 
    his 
    treasure 
    and 
    pride 

    But 
    it 
    stopped, 
    short, 
    never 
    to 
    go 
    a
    gain 

    When 
    the 
    old 
    man 
    died 

    Chorus 1
    Ninety 
    years 
    without 
    slumbering 

    His 
    life 
    seconds 
    numbering 

    It 
    stopped, 
    short, 
    never 
    to 
    go 
    a
    gain 

    When 
    the 
    old 
    man 
    died 

    Verse 2
    My 
    grandfather 
    said 

    that 
    of 
    those 
    he 
    could 
    hire 

    Not 
    servant 
    so 
    faithful 
    he 
    found 

    For 
    it 
    wasted 
    no 
    time 
    and 
    had 
    but 
    one 
    de
    sire 

    At 
    the 
    close 
    of 
    each 
    week 
    to 
    be 
    wound 

    And 
    it 
    kept 
    in 
    its 
    place, 

    not 
    frown 
    upon 
    its 
    face 

    And 
    its 
    hands 
    never 
    hung 
    by 
    its 
    side 

    But 
    it 
    stopped 
    short, 
    never 
    to 
    go 
    a
    gain 

    When 
    the 
    old 
    man 
    died 

    Verse 3
    It 
    rang 
    and 
    a
    larmed 
    in 
    the 
    dead 
    of 
    the 
    night 

    An 
    a
    larm 
    that 
    for 
    years 
    had 
    been 
    dumb 

    And 
    we 
    knew 

    that 
    his 
    spirit 
    was 
    pluming 
    for 
    flight 

    That 
    his 
    hour 
    for 
    de
    parture 
    had 
    come 

    Still 
    the 
    clock 

    kept 
    the 
    time 
    with 
    soft 
    and 
    muffled 
    chime 

    As 
    we 
    silently 
    stood 
    by 
    his 
    side 

    But 
    it 
    stopped 
    short, 
    never 
    to 
    go 
    a
    gain 

    When 
    the 
    old 
    man 
    died 

    Chorus 2
    Ninety 
    years 
    without 
    slumbering 

    His 
    life 
    seconds 
    numbering 

    It 
    stopped 
    short, 
    never 
    to 
    go 
    a
    gain 

    When 
    the 
    old 
    man 
    died

      Best Tuning App Ever

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
