(A)This ole house once knew his children
this ole (D)house once knew his wife.
This ole (E)house was home and comfort,
as they (A)fought the storms of life.
This old house once rang with laughter,
this old (D)house heard many shouts.
Now he (E)trembles in the darkness,
when the (A)lightnin' walks about.

Ain't a-gonna (D)need this house no longer,
ain't a-gonna (A)need this house no more.
Ain't got (E)time to fix the shingles,
ain't got (A)time to fix the floor.
Ain't got (D)time to oil the hinges,
Nor to (A)mend the windowpanes.
Ain't a-gonna (E)need this house no longer,
He's a-gettin' ready to meet the (A)Saints.

This ole house is a-gettin' shaky,
this ole (D)house is a-gettin' old.
This ole (E)house lets in the rain,
This ole (A)house lets in the cold.
Oh, his knees are gettin' chilly,
but he (D)feels no fear nor pain.
Cause he (E)sees an Angel peekin'
through a broken window(A)pane.

Ain't a-gonna (D)need this house no longer,
ain't a-gonna (A)need this house no more.
Ain't got (E)time to fix the shingles,
ain't got (A)time to fix the floor.
Ain't got (D)time to oil the hinges,
Nor to (A)mend the windowpanes.
Ain't a-gonna (E)need this house no longer,
He's a-gettin' ready to meet the (A)Saints.

This ole house is afraid of thunder,
this ole (D)house is afraid of storms.
This ole (E)house just groans and trembles,
when the (A)night wind flings its arms.
This ole house is gettin' feeble,
this old (D)house is needin' paint.
Just like (E)him it's tuckered out,
but he's a-gettin' ready to meet the (A)Saints.

Ain't a-gonna (D)need this house no longer,
ain't a-gonna (A)need this house no more.
Ain't got (E)time to fix the shingles,
ain't got (A)time to fix the floor.
Ain't got (D)time to oil the hinges,
Nor to (A)mend the windowpanes.
Ain't a-gonna (E)need this house no longer,
He's a-gettin' ready to meet the (A)Saints.

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

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

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
