Intro: Am C D F Am C E E

 Am     C    D   F
There is a house in New Orleans,
Am      C   E
They call the Rising Sun
  Am      C    D      F
And It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Am     E     Am  C D F Am E Am E
And God, I know, I'm one

Am    C   D   F
My mother was a tailor
Am      C   E
She sewed my new blue jeans
  Am   C    D    F
My father was a gambling man
Am     E  Am  C D F Am E Am E
Down in New Orleans

Am     C    D   F
And the only things a gambler needs
Am      C   E
Is a suitcase and a trunk
  Am  C    D      F
And the only time he's satisfied
Am     E     Am  C D F Am E Am E
Is when he's all a-drunk

Am     C    D   F
I've got one foot on the platform
Am      C   E
The other foot on the train
  Am  C    D      F
I'm going back to New Orleans
Am     E     Am  C D F Am E Am E
To wear the ball and chain

Am     C    D   F
So mothers, tell your children
Am      C   E
Not to do what I have done
  Am  C    D      F
Spend your life in sin and misery
Am     E     Am  C D F Am E Am E
In the house of the Rising Sun

Am     C    D   F
There is a house in New Orleans,
Am      C   E  E
They call the Rising Sun
  Am      C    D      F
And It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Am     E     Am  C D F Am E Am E
And God, I know, I'm one
    Am      C

Enjoy!
