A {Verse 1} A This ole house once knew my children D This ole house once knew a wife E7 This ole house was home and comfort A As we fought the storms of life A This old house once rang with laughter D This old house heard many shouts E7 Now she trembles in the dark A When the lightnin' walks about {Chorus} D (Well, ain't a-gonna need this house no longer) A (Ain't a-gonna need this house no more) E Ain't got time to fix the shingles A Ain't a-got time to fix the floor D Ain't got time to oil the hinges A Nor to mend a windowpane E Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer A I am a-gettin' ready to meet the saints {Verse 2} A This ole house is gettin' shaky D This ole house is gettin' old E This ole house lets in the rain A This ole house lets in the cold A On my knees I'm gettin' chilly D But I feel no fear or pain E 'Cause I see an angel peekin' E7 A Through a broken windowpane {Verse 3} A Now, my old hound dog lies a-sleepin' D He don't know I'm gonna leave E Else he'd wake up by the fireplace A He'd sit there and howl and grieve (whoo) A But my huntin' days are over D Ain't a-gonna hunt the coon no more E Gabriel just brought in my chariot A When the wind blew down the door {Chorus} D (Well, ain't a-gonna need this house no longer) A (Ain't a-gonna need this house no more) E Ain't got time to fix the shingles A Ain't a-got time to fix the floor D Ain't got time to oil the hinges A Nor to mend a windowpane E Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer A I am a-gettin' ready to meet the saints {Outro} D Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer A Ain't a-gonna need this house no more E7 Ain't got time to fix the shingles A Ain't a-got time to fix the floor D Ain't got time to oil the hinges A Nor to mend no windowpane E7 Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer A E A I am a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.....
