G		   B 
  Goodbye, little alarm clock,   
	 C		D 
  You've given me great times.   
      G			  B		     C		D 
  But lately, time's been slipping away from you.   
C	     D		 G	     B 
  Why you've given up on me, I don't know.   
   C			D 
  Alarm clock, don't be sour,   
	C		D 
  You're losing all your power,   
       C	     D 
  It's your eleventh hour,   
	  G 
  Time to go.   
 
  G			B     
  I got you when I was ten,   
  C		      G 
  Things were simpler then. 
      C		    D			    G 
  You woke me up in time for the early-bird show.   
  G		    B 
  And later on that day,   
      C		   G 
  You woke me up okay,   
     C		    D		     G	     G7 
  In time for Simon Townsend's Wonderworld.   
 
      	    C 
  I slept a lot as a kid,   
		   G 
  Oh, alarm clock, all the things we did.   
   
  Yeah, yeah.   
	C 
  Well, you didn't do much,   
			    D(stop) 
  You just sat there making noise,  
  
  And now that's what I do for a living.   
       
G		   B 
  Goodbye, little alarm clock,   
	 C		D 
  You've given me great times.   
      G			  B		     C		D 
  But lately, time's been slipping away from you.   
C	     D		 G	     B 
  Why you've given up on me, I don't know.   
   C			D 
  Alarm clock, don't be sour,   
	C		D 
  You're losing all your power,   
       C	     D 
  It's your eleventh hour,   
	  G 
  Time to go.   
       
G			      B 
  And when my teenage years unfurled,   
       C		G 
  When I brought home a girl,   
      C			  D		  G 
  You sat and watched and never judged me once.   
G			B 
  But not matter who it was,   
  C		     G 
  They came second because,   
   C		      	   D		    G    G7 
  Alarm clock, it's always your face that I saw.   
 
          C 
  I was a pretty weird kid,   
	      G 
  They said I loved you, and I did.   
   
  Yeah, yeah.   
		C(stop) 
  But they can keep their skateboards,   
		C(stop) 
  'Cause you go backwards and forwards,   
D(stop) 
  Not unlike words like 'glenelg' or 'boob'.   
 
Play G B C D  over spoken bit: 
  Goodbye, little alarm clock, goodbye.  
  How could I ever replace you?   
  Maybe I should get one of those atomic clocks,   
  That would suit me just well.   
       
C	     D		 G	     B 
  Why you've given up on me, I don't know.   
   C			D 
  Alarm clock, don't be sour,   
	 C		 D 
  You're losing all your power,   
       C	     D 
  It's your eleventh hour,   
	  G 
  Time to go.   
 
  Goodbye, alarm clock, goodbye...
