You know, none of us are gonna cry, 
It wasn't even worth the try, 
So long, baby, goodbye

There was a cold wind blowin' on the night we met
Windows were rolled up tight
We both asked for something we could never get
Now I'll do the thing that's right

We know, none of us are gonna cry
It wasn't even worth a try
So long, baby, goodbye

THIS OLE HOUSE

This ole (C) house once knew my children,
This ole (F) house once knew my wife.
This ole (G7) house was joy and comfort,
As we (C) fought the storms of life.
This ole house once rang with laughter, 
This ole (F) house heard many shouts.
Now she (G7) trembles in the darkness,
When the lightning walks (C) about.  


Chorus:

I Ain't gonna (F) need this house no longer,
Ain't gonna (C) need this house no more.
Ain't got (G7) time to fix the shingles,
Ain't got (C) time to fix the floor.
Ain't got (F) time to oil the hinges,
Nor to (C) mend the window panes,
Ain't gonna (G7) need this house no longer.
Gettin' ready to meet the (C) 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.
On my knees I'm gettin' chilly,
But I feel no fear nor pain,
'Cause I see an angel peekin',
Through a broken window pane.


Chorus


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 ole house is needin' paint.
Just like me it's tuckered out,
But I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints.


Chorus


My ole 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 blew down the door. 


Chorus

          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.

Am7/G       F    Fdim(III)        Fdim      C       C/B    Am7
Ain't got time to  oil  the hinges nor to mend the win-dow-pane;

Gdim        G                    G7
Ain't gonna need this house no longer--

White Christmas

(C)I'm dreaming of a (Dm7)white Christ(G)mas,

I got trouble in my town

You think your right
But you were wrong
You tried to take me
But I knew all along
You can take me
For a ride
I'm not a fool out
So you better run and hide

I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town

Em            Bm
If you see me coming
Em        Bm
Down the street then
Em            Bm
You know it's time to
Em            G
Go (and you know it's time to go
cause here comes trouble)

No attorneys
To plead my case
No orbits
To send me into outta space
And my fingers
Are bejeweled
With diamonds and gold
But that ain't gonna help me now

You think your right
But you were wrong
You tried to take me
But I knew all along
You can take me
For a ride
Cause I'm not a fool out
So you better run and hide

I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I disturb my town
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town

So if you see me coming
Down the street then
You know it's time to
Go (go-oh-oh..I got)

Trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town

Trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
I'm trouble
Yeah trouble now
I'm trouble ya'll
I got trouble in my town
I got trouble in my town
I got trouble in my town
