[Verse 1]

G      Bm          Em
I died happy in my sleep
G      Bm          Em
I died happy in my sleep
     G        Bm        Em
Our children around and you looking down


[Chorus 1]

G          Bm           Em
Heaven's a julep on the porch
G          Bm           Em
Heaven's a julep on the porch
G           Bm            Em
You and me rocking the grandfather clock
G            Bm        Em
Is tick-tick-tock-tick-tock (to the time we used to wind it)


(instrumental break over verse chords)



[Verse 2]

G                Bm           Em
She brought the sugar and the mint
G                Bm           Em
She brought the sugar and the mint
    G              Bm       Em
And he brought the whiskey asked for my blessing
(NC)
Yes sir I know she's

G          Bm           Em
Heaven's a julep on the porch
G          Bm           Em
Heaven's a julep on the porch
G           Bm            Em
You and me rocking the grandfather clock
G            Bm        Em
Is tick-tick-tock-tick-tock (to the time we used to wind it)


(instrumental break over verse chords)
(play a D for several measures)


[Bridge]

(D)     F#m    A      D     D
Now that time stands still
        F#m    A   D    D
We can drink our fill
       F#m A            D C#m
Out of silver that will never
        F#m  A    D    D
Tarnish like we will


(instrumental break:
(play D for several measures, then Em F#m Em G, Em F#m)


[Verse 3]

G                  Bm                 Em
You weren't just a girl that I should meet
G             Bm               Em
You were the girl that I would meet
G                  Bm         Em
For drinks in the backyard a beautiful daughter
G              Bm         Em
A lifetime of summer and love ever after


[Verse 4]

G      Bm          Em
I died happy in my sleep
G      Bm          Em
I died happy in my sleep
G             Bm        Em
Our children around and you looking down

     G          Bm            Em
From heaven's a julep on the porch
G           Bm            Em
Heaven's a julep on the porch
G           Bm            Em
You and me rocking the grandfather clock
G            Bm        Em
Is tick-tick-tock-tick-tock (to the time we used to wind it)

(God the time...We used to wind it...)
