19. That’s AmoreHarry Warren & Jack Brooks 1952Recorded by Dean Martin

[E7]W h e n t h e [A] moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie,

That’s a-[E7]-more;

When the world seems to shine like you’ve had too much wine, That’s a-[A]-more.

[E7]Bells will [A]ring “ ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling ”

And you'll sing “ Vita [E7]Bella!”

Hearts’ll play tippi-tippi-tay, tippi-tippi-tay

Like a gay taran-[A]-tella.

[E7]When the [A]stars make you drool joost-a-like pasta fool, That’s a-[E7]-more;

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet, You’re in

[F#m]love… …

When you [D]walk in a dream

But you [Dm]know you’re not dreamin’, [A]signore,

‘Scusa [E7]me, but you see, back in old Napoli, that’s a-[A]-more!’

[E7]When the [A]moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie,

That’s a-[E7]-more;

20. This Ole HouseStuart Hamblen, Mel Tillis, Shakin Stevens:

This ole [C]house once knew my children, [C7]this ole [F]house once knew my wife;

This ole [G7]house was home and comfort as we [C]fought the [F]storms of [C]life.

This old [C]house once rang with laughter, [C7]this old [F]house heard many shouts;

Now she [G7]trembles in the darkness when the lightnin' walks a-[C]-bout.

Chorus:Ain't a-gonna [F]need this house no longer,

Ain't a-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 [Am7]pane;

Ain't gonna [G7]need this house no longer I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the [C]saints.

This ole [C]house is a-gettin' shaky, [C7]this ole [F]house is a-gettin' old;

This ole [G7]house lets in the rain, this ole [C]house lets [F]in the [C]cold.

Oh, my [C]knees are a-gettin' shaky, [C7]but I [F]feel no fear nor pain,

'Cause I [G7]see an angel peekin' through a broken window [C]pane.

Chorus

This ole [C]house is afraid of thunder, [C7]this ole [F]house is afraid of storms

This ole [G7]house just groans and trembles, when the [C]night wind [F]flings its

[C]arms

This old [C]house is getting feeble, [C7]this ole [F]house is needing paint

Just like [G7]me its tuckered out but I'm a-getting ready to meet the [C]saints

Chorus

This ole [C]hound dog lies a-sleeping [C7]he don't [F]know I'm gonna leave

Else he'd [G7]wake up by the fireplace, and he'd [C]sit there and [F]howl and

[C]grieve

But my [C]hunting days are over, [C7]ain't gonna [F]hunt the coon no more

Gabriel [G7]done brought in my chariot when the wind blew down the [C]door.

Chorus
