THIS OLE HOUSE.

[C]This ole house once knew my children,this ole [F]house once knew my wife 
This ole house [G]was home and comfort, as we [C]fought the storms of life
This ole [C]house once rang with laughter, this ole [F]house heard many shout
Now she [G]trembles in the darkness, when the lightning walks a[C]bout

Ain't gonna [F]needthis house no longer  Won't [C]need this house no more
Ain't got [G]time to to fix the shingles  Ain't got [F]time to fix the [C]floor
Ain't got [F]time to oil the hinges  Or to [C]mend the window pane
Ain't gonna [G]need this house no longer
She's a getting ready to meet the [C]saints

This ole [C]house is getting shaky, this ole [F]house is getting old
This ole [G]house lets in the rain, this ole [C]house let's in the cold
Oh my [C]knee's are getting shaky, but i [F]feel no fear or pain
‘Cause l [G]see an angel peeking through a broken window [C]pane

Ain't gonna [F]needthis house no longer  Won't [C]need this house no more
Ain't got [G]time to to fix the shingles  Ain't got [F]time to fix the [C]floor
Ain't got [F]time to oil the hinges  Or to [C]mend the window pane
Ain't gonna [G]need this house no longer
She's a getting ready to meet the [C]saints

This ole [C]house is afraid of thunder, this ole [F]house is afraid of storms
This ole [G]house just groans and trembles, when the [C]night wind flings it’s arms
This ole [C]house is getting feeble, this ole [F]house is needing paint.
Ain't gonna [G]need this house no longer, I'm a getting ready to meet the [C]saints

Ain't gonna [F]needthis house no longer  Won't [C]need this house no more
Ain't got [G]time to to fix the shingles  Ain't got [F]time to fix the [C]floor

PEARLY SHELLS / LOVE LETTERS IN THE SAND

Pearly Shells & Love Letters in the Sand

[C]Pearly Shells …. from the ocean
Shining in the [F]sun covering the [G7]shore
When I [C]see them my heart [F]tells me that I love you
More than [C]all the [G7]little pearly [C]shells

For every [G7]grain of sand upon the beach
I've [C]got a kiss for you
And I've got [G7]more left over
For each star that [D7]twinkles in the [G7]blue

[C]Pearly Shells …. from the ocean
Shining in the [F]sun covering the [G7]shore
When I [C]see them my heart [F]tells me that I love you
More than [C]all the [G7]little pearly [C]shells

On a [C]day like today we [F]pass the time a[D7]way
Writing [G7]love letters [F]in [G7]the [C]sand
How you laughed when I cried
Each [F]time I saw the [D7]tide
Take our [G7]love letters [D7]from [G7]the [C]sand [C7]

You made a [E7]vow that you would [Am]always be true
But some[D7]how that vow meant [F]nothing to [G7]you
Now my [C]poor heart just aches 
With [F]every wave that [D7]breaks
Over [G7]love letters [D7]in [G7]the [C]sand

For every [G7]grain of sand upon the beach
I've [C]got a kiss for you
And I've got [G7]more left over
For each star that [D7]twinkles in the [G7]blue

[C]Pearly Shells …. from the ocean
Shining in the [F]sun covering the [G7]shore
When I [C]see them my heart [F]tells me that I love you
More than [C]all the [G7]little pearly [C]shells

More than [C]all the [G7]little pearly [C]shells
