{c: }
This ole [C] house once knew my children,
this ole [F] house once knew my wife;
This ole [G] house was home and comfort
as we [C] fought the storms of life.
This old [C] house once rang with laughter,
this old [F] house heard many shouts;
Now she [G] trembles in the darkness
when thelightnin' walks a[C]bout.
{c: }
Ain't a-gonna[F] need this house no longer,
Ain't a-gonna [C] need this house no more;
Ain't got [G] time to fix the shingles,
ain't got [C] time to fix the floor,
Ain't got [F] time to oil the hinges
nor to [C] mend the window [Am7] pane;
Ain't gonna[G] need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the [C] saints.
{c: }
This ole [C] house is a-gettin' shaky,
this ole [F] house is a-gettin' old;
This ole [G] house lets in the rain,
this ole [C] house lets in the cold.
Oh, my [C] knees are a-gettin' shaky,
but I [F] feel no fear nor pain,
'Cause I [G] see an angel peekin' through
A broken window [C] pane.
{c: }
Ain't a-gonna[F] need this house no longer,
Ain't a-gonna [C] need this house no more;
Ain't got [G] time to fix the shingles,
ain't got [C] time to fix the floor,
Ain't got [F] time to oil the hinges
nor to [C] mend the window [Am7] pane;
Ain't gonna[G] need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the [C] saints.
