Chord This Ole House by Johnny Cash

C F this ole house once knew my children , this ole house once knew my wife; G C this ole house was home and comfort as we fought the storms of life . C F this old house once rang with laughter , this old house heard many shouts; G C now she trembles in the darkness when the lightnin’ walks about . F ain’t A - gonna need this house no longer , C ain’t A - gonna need this house no more; G C C/B Am7 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 :
