Jimmy Dean - This Ole House guitar chord

This Ole House

Jimmy Dean

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
