C F This ole house once knew my children, this ole house once knew my wife; G C This ole house was home and comfort as we fought the storms of life. C F This old house once rang with laughter, this old house heard many shouts; G C Now she trembles in the darkness when the lightnin' walks about. Refrain: F C Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer, ain't a-gonna need this house no more; G C C/B Am7 Ain't got time to fix the shingles, ain't got time to fix the floor, Am7/G F Fdim(III) Fdim C C/B Am7 Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mend the win-dow-pane; Gdim G G7 G G/A G/B C Ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints. C F This ole house is a-gettin' shaky, this ole house is a-gettin' old; G C This ole house lets in the rain, this ole house lets in the cold. C F Oh, my knees are a-gettin' shaky, but I feel no fear nor pain, G C 'Cause I see an angel peekin' through a broken windowpane. Repeat Refrain: C F This ole house is afraid of thunder, this ole house is afraid of storms; G C This ole house just groans and trembles when the night wind flings its arms. C F This ole house is gettin' feeble, this old house is needin' paint; G C Just like me it's tuckered out, but I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints. Repeat Refrain: C F My ol' hound dog lies a-sleepin'--he don't know I'm gonna leave, G C Else he'd wake up by the fireplace and he'd sit there and howl and grieve. C F But my huntin' days are over; ain't gonna hunt the coon no more; G C Gabriel done brought in my chariot when the wind blew down the door. Repeat Refrain:
