This Old House

         A                  
This ole house once knew his 
                    D
children  this ole house once knew 
his wife
         E7                        
This ole house was home and comfort
          A
  as they fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with 
                   D
laughter  this old house heard many 
shouts
       E7                       
Now it trembles in the darkness  
                           A
when the lightnin' walks about

[Chorus]
              D                 
Ain't a-gonna need this house no 
                       A
longer  ain't a-gonna need this 
house no more
          E7                       
Ain't got time to fix the shingles 
           A
 ain't got time to fix the floor
          D                      
Ain't got time to oil the hinges  
        A
nor to mend the windowpane
              E7                
Ain't a-gonna need this house no 
longer  she's a-gettin' ready to 
          A
meet the saints

[Verse]
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky  
         D
this ole house is a-gettin' old
Continúa después del anuncio
         E7                     
This ole house lets in the rain  
          A
this ole house lets in the cold
On his knees I'm gettin' chilly  but
              D
 he feel no fear nor pain
          E7                    
'Cause he sees an angel peekin'  
                        A
through a broken windowpane

[Chorus]
              D                 
Ain't a-gonna need this house no 
                       A
longer  ain't a-gonna need this 
house no more
          E7                       
Ain't got time to fix the shingles 
           A
 ain't got time to fix the floor
          D                      
Ain't got time to oil the hinges  
        A
nor to mend the windowpane
              E7                
Ain't a-gonna need this house no 
longer  she's a-gettin' ready to 
          A
meet the saints

[Verse]
This ole house is afraid of thunder 
          D
 this ole house is afraid of storms
         E7                   
This ole house just groans and 
                    A
trembles  when the night wind flings
 its arms
         D                       
This ole house is gettin' feeble  
          A
this old house is needin' paint
          E7                    
Just like us she's tuckered out  
she's a-gettin' ready to meet the 
 A
saints

[Chorus]
              D                 
Ain't a-gonna need this house no 
                       A
longer  ain't a-gonna need this 
house no more
          E7                       
Ain't got time to fix the shingles 
           A
 ain't got time to fix the floor
          D                      
Ain't got time to oil the hinges  
        A
nor to mend the windowpane
              E7                
Ain't a-gonna need this house no 
longer  she's a-gettin' ready to 
          A
meet the saints
