This Ole House

(início)

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
