#1.
AThis ole house once knew his children,
         Dthis ole house once knew his wife.
         EThis ole house was home and comfort,
        Aas they fought the storms of life.
AThis old house once rang with laughter,
         Dthis old house heard many shouts.
       ENow he trembles in the darkness,
         Awhen the lightnin' walks about.

CHORUS:
A             DAin't a-gonna need this house no longer,
              Aain't a-gonna need this house no more.
          EAin't got time to fix the shingles,
          Aain't got time to fix the floor.
          DAin't got time to oil the hinges,
       ANor to mend the windowpanes.
              EAin't a-gonna need this house no longer,
                                 AHe's a-gettin' ready to meet the Saints.

#2.
AThis ole house is a-gettin' shaky,
         Dthis ole house is a-gettin' old.
         EThis ole house lets in the rain,
         AThis ole house lets in the cold.
AOh, his knees are gettin' chilly,
       Dbut he feels no fear nor pain.
         ECause he sees an Angel peekin'
                       Athrough a broken windowpane.

CHORUS:
A             DAin't a-gonna need this house no longer,
              Aain't a-gonna need this house no more.
          EAin't got time to fix the shingles,
          Aain't got time to fix the floor.
          DAin't got time to oil the hinges,
       ANor to mend the windowpanes.
              EAin't a-gonna need this house no longer,
                                 AHe's a-gettin' ready to meet the Saints.

#3.
AThis ole house is afraid of thunder,
         Dthis ole house is afraid of storms.
         EThis ole house just groans and trembles,
         Awhen the night wind flings its arms.
AThis ole house is gettin' feeble,
         Dthis old house is needin' paint.
          EJust like him it's tuckered out,
                                     Abut he's a-gettin' ready to meet the Saints.

CHORUS:
A             DAin't a-gonna need this house no longer,
              Aain't a-gonna need this house no more.
          EAin't got time to fix the shingles,
          Aain't got time to fix the floor.
          DAin't got time to oil the hinges,
       ANor to mend the windowpanes.
              EAin't a-gonna need this house no longer,
                                 AHe's a-gettin' ready to meet the Saints.

A#My ole hound dog lies a-sleepin',
         D#he don't know I'm gonna leave.
          FElse he'd wake up by the fireplace,
         A#and he'd sit there and howl and grieve.
A#But my huntin' days are over,
            D#ain't gonna hunt the 'coon no more.
        FGabriel done brought in my chariot,
                            A#when the wind blew down the door.

CHORUS:
A#            D#Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer,
              A#ain't a-gonna need this house no more.
          FAin't got time to fix the shingles,
          A#ain't got time to fix the floor.
          D#Ain't got time to oil the hinges,
       A#Nor to mend the windowpanes.
              FAin't a-gonna need this house no longer,
                                A#I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the Saints.
