#1.
A This ole house once knew children, D this ole house once knew a wife. E This ole house was home and comfort, A as we fought the storms of life. A This old house once rang with laughter, D this old house heard many shouts. E Now she trembles in the darkness, A when the lightnin' walks about.
CHORUS:
A D Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer, A ain't a-gonna need this house no more. E Ain'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 no windowpanes. E Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer, A He's a-gettin' ready to meet the Saints.

A This ole house is a-gettin' shaky, D this ole house is a-gettin' old. E This ole house lets in the rain, A This ole house lets in the cold. A Oh, my knees are gettin' chilly, D but I feel no fear nor pain. E Cause I've seen an Angel peekin' A through the broken windowpane.
CHORUS:
A D Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer, A ain't a-gonna need this house no more. E Ain'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 no windowpane. E Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer, A She's a-gettin' ready to meet the Saints.

A This ole house is afraid of thunder, D this ole house is afraid of storms. E This ole house just groans and trembles, A when the night flings down its arms. A This ole house is gettin' feeble, D this old house is in need of paint. E Just like me it's tuckered out, A but I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the Saints.
CHORUS:
A D Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer, A ain't a-gonna need this house no more. E Ain'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 no windowpane. E Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer, A She's a-gettin' ready to meet the Saints. A D Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer, A ain't a-gonna need this house no more. E Ain'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 no windowpane. E Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer, A She's a-gettin' ready to meet the Saints.
