This Ole House

C                         
This ole house once knew my 
                      F
children, this ole house once knew 
my wife;
          G                        
This ole house was home and comfort
       C
 as we fought the storms of life.
          C                  
This old house once rang with 
                    F
laughter, this old house heard many 
shouts;
         G                      
Now she trembles in the darkness 
            C
when the lightnin' walks about.
                F
Ain't a-gonna need this house no 
longer,
                C
Ain't a-gonna need this house no 
more;

           G                       
Ain't got time to fix the shingles,
  C        C/B     Am7
 ain't got time to fix the floor,
Am7/G       F    F° (III)        F° 
     C       C/B    Am7
Ain't got time to  oil  the hinges 
nor to mend the win-dow-pane;
G°        G                    
Ain't gonna need this house no 
G7
longer--
               G       G/A  
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the 
G/B   C
saints.
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky, 
this ole house is a-gettin' old;
This ole house lets in the rain, 
this ole house lets in the cold.
Oh, my knees are a-gettin' shaky, 
but I feel no fear nor pain,
'Cause I see an angel peekin' 
through a broken windowpane.

Repeat Refrain:


This ole house is afraid of thunder,
 this ole house is afraid of storms;
This ole house just groans and 
trembles when the night wind flings 
its arms.
This ole house is gettin' feeble, 
this old house is needin' paint;
Just like me it's tuckered out, but 
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the 
saints.
