This Ole House - Shakin Stevens
Verse 1:
This ole [C] house once knew my children, this ole [F] house once knew my wife.
This ole [G7] house was home and comfort as we [C] fought the storms of life.
This old [C] house once rang with laughter, this old [F] house heard many shouts,
Now she [G7] trembles in the darkness when the lightnin' walks a[C]bout.
|Chorus:
|Ain't a-gonna [F] need this house no longer,
|Ain't a-gonna [C] need this house no more.
|Ain't got [G7] time to fix the shingles, ain't got [C] time to fix the [C7] floor,
|Ain't got [F] time to oil the hinges nor to [C] mend the window [Am] pane.
|Ain't gonna [G7] need this house no longer,
|I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the [C] saints.
Verse 2:
This ole [C] house is a-gettin' shaky, this ole [F] house is a-gettin' old.
This ole [G7] house lets in the rain, this ole [C] house lets in the cold.
Oh, my [C] knees are a-gettin' shaky, but I [F] feel no fear nor pain,
'Cause I [G7] see an angel peekin' through a broken window [C] pane.
|Chorus:
|Ain't a-gonna [F] need this house no longer,
|Ain't a-gonna [C] need this house no more.
|Ain't got [G7] time to fix the shingles, ain't got [C] time to fix the [C7] floor,
|Ain't got [F] time to oil the hinges nor to [C] mend the window [Am] pane.
|Ain't gonna [G7] need this house no longer
|I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the [C] saints.
Verse 3:
This ole [C] house is afraid of thunder,this ole [F] house is afraid of storms.
This ole [G7] house just groans and trembles, when the [C] night wind flings its arms.
This ole [C] house is gettin' feeble, this old [F] house is needin' paint.
Just like [G7] him it's tuckered out, but he's a-gettin' ready to meet his [C] saint.
|Chorus:
|Ain't a-gonna [F] need this house no longer,
|Ain't a-gonna [C] need this house no more.
|Ain't got [G7] time to fix the shingles, ain't got [C] time to fix the [C7] floor,
|Ain't got [F] time to oil the hinges nor to [C] mend the window [Am] pane.
|Ain't gonna [G7] need this house no longer
|I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the [C] saints. [C]
