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

                                              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
