Tom: A
A D
This ole house once knew his children this ole house once knew his wife
E7 A
This ole house was home and comfort as they fought the storms of life
D
This old house once rang with laughter this old house heard many shouts
E7 A
Now it trembles in the darkness when the lightnin' walks about
[Chorus]
D A
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer ain't a-gonna need this house no more
E7 A
Ain't got time to fix the shingles ain't got time to fix the floor
D A
Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mend the windowpane
E7 A
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer she's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
[Verse]
D
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky this ole house is a-gettin' old
E7 A
This ole house lets in the rain this ole house lets in the cold
D
On his knees I'm gettin' chilly but he feel no fear nor pain
E7 A
'Cause he sees an angel peekin' through a broken windowpane
[Chorus]
D A
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer ain't a-gonna need this house no more
E7 A
Ain't got time to fix the shingles ain't got time to fix the floor
D A
Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mend the windowpane
E7 A
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer she's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D
This ole house is afraid of thunder this ole house is afraid of storms
E7 A
This ole house just groans and trembles when the night wind flings its arms
D A
This ole house is gettin' feeble this old house is needin' paint
E7 A
Just like us she's tuckered out she's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
[Chorus]
D A
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer ain't a-gonna need this house no more
E7 A
Ain't got time to fix the shingles ain't got time to fix the floor
D A
Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mend the windowpane
E7 A
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer she's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
