* 5-bar intro
* Verse 1 This old house once knew it's children. This old house once knew it's wife. This old house was home and comfort As they fought the storms of life. This old house once rang with laughter. This old house heard many shouts. Now it trembles in the darkness when the lightning walks about.
* Chorus Ain't gonna need this house no longer. Ain't gonna need this house no more. Ain't got time to fix the shingles. Ain't got time to fix the floor. Ain't got time to oil the hinges, nor to mend the window pain. Ain't-a gonna need this house no longer. He's getting ready to meet the saints.
* 5-bar break
* Verse 2 This old house is gettin' shaky. This old house is gettin' old. This old house has seen the rain. This old house has seen the cold. Oh, his knees are gettin' chilly, but he feels no fear or pain 'Cause he sees an angel peepin' through a broken window pane.
