Verse 1:
   Bm  G/B   D
There is a house in New Orleans
   F#m   D/F#  G
They call the Rising Sun
     Bm    G/B      D
And it's been the ruin of many poor souls
  F#m   D/F#   G
And lord, my father is one
  F#m       E5
My mother, she's a tailor
  E     G     D
She sews those blue blue jeans
  Bm        D
To keep my gambling father drunk
   F#m   D/F#  G
Deep down in New Orleans

Refrain:
G          F#5      D     G
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day

Verse 2:
Bm     G/B     D
Like a bird flying over forest fire
  F#m       D/F#       G
My father feels the heat beneath his wings
  Bm     G/B    D
And in debt he leaves for another tower
     F#m     D/F#      G
Where he gambles and drunk he still drinks
  F#m        E5
My mother hides from pleasure
E        G   D
Sees the father on her knees
Bm       D
Left it in the arms of God
 F#m   D/F#  G
Away from New Orleans


Refrain:
G       F#5      D     G
Happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day
G       F#5      D     G
Happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day
