This Ole House

C This ole house once knew my children F This ole house once knew my wife G7 This ole house was home and comfort C As we fought the storms of life This ole house once rang with laughter F This ole house heard many a shouts C Now she trembles in the darkness G7 C When the lightnin' walks about F I ain't a gonna need this house no longer C Ain't a gonna need this house no more G7 Ain't got time to fix his shingles C Ain't got time to fix the door F Ain't got time to oil the hinges C Nor to mind the window panes G7 I ain't gonna need this house no longer C I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints This ole house is a gettin' shaky F This ole house is a gettin' old G7 This ole house stands in the rain C This ole house stands in the cold Oh my knees are gettin' chilly F But I feel no fear or pain C Cause I see an angel a peekin' G7 C Through a broken window pane This ole house is afraid of thunder F This ole house is afraid of storms G7 This ole house just groans and trembles C When the night wind flings his arms This ole house is a gettin' feeble F This ole house is a needin' paint C Just like me it's tuckered out G7 C But I'm gonna get ready to meet the saints Now my hound dog lies a-sleepin' F He don't know I'm gonna leave G7 Else he'd wake up by the fireplace C And he'd sit there and howl and greive But my huntin' days are over F Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more C Gabriel done grought in my chariot G7 C When the wind blew down the door
