This Old House by Johnny Cash with The Statler Brothers
This Old House
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Bb
Capo:1st fret
{Intro}
A
{Verse 1}
A
This ole house once knew my children
D
This ole house once knew a wife
E7
This ole house was home and comfort
A
As we fought the storms of life
A
This old house once rang with laughter
D
This old house heard many shouts
E7
Now she trembles in the dark
A
When the lightnin' walks about
{Chorus}
D
(Well, ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
A
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
E
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
A
Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
D
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
A
Nor to mend a windowpane
E
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
A
I am a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
{Verse 2}
A
This ole house is gettin' shaky
D
This ole house is gettin' old
E
This ole house lets in the rain
A
This ole house lets in the cold
A
On my knees I'm gettin' chilly
D
But I feel no fear or pain
E
'Cause I see an angel peekin'
E7 A
Through a broken windowpane
{Verse 3}
A
Now, my old hound dog lies a-sleepin'
D
He don't know I'm gonna leave
E
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace
A
He'd sit there and howl and grieve (whoo)
A
But my huntin' days are over
D
Ain't a-gonna hunt the coon no more
E
Gabriel just brought in my chariot
A
When the wind blew down the door
{Chorus}
D
(Well, ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
A
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
E
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
A
Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
D
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
A
Nor to mend a windowpane
E
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
A
I am a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
{Outro}
D
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
A
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
E7
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
A
Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
D
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
A
Nor to mend no windowpane
E7
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
A E A
I am a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.....

This ole house once knew my children, this ole house once knew my wife;

This ole house was home and comfort as we fought the storms of life.

This old house once rang with laughter, this old house heard many shouts;

Now she trembles in the darkness when the lightnin' walks about.

Ain't got time to fix the shingles, ain't got time to fix the floor,
Am7/G F F° (III) F° C C/B Am7
Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mend the win-dow-pane;
G° G G7
Ain't gonna need this house no longer--
G G/A G/B C
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky, this ole house is a-gettin' old;
This ole house lets in the rain, this ole house lets in the cold.
Oh, my knees are a-gettin' shaky, but I feel no fear nor pain,
'Cause I see an angel peekin' through a broken windowpane.
Repeat Refrain:
This ole house is afraid of thunder, this ole house is afraid of storms;
This ole house just groans and trembles when the night wind flings its arms.
This ole house is gettin' feeble, this old house is needin' paint;
Just like me it's tuckered out, but I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
Repeat Refrain:
My ol' hound dog lies a-sleepin'--he don't know I'm gonna leave,
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace and he'd sit there and howl and grieve.
But my huntin' days are over; ain't gonna hunt the coon no more;
Gabriel done brought in my chariot when the wind blew down the door.
Repeat Refrain:
