There is a house in New Orleans
   A minorAm    C majorC   E MajorE E7E7
They call the Rising Sun
     A minorAm    C majorC    DmDm     FF
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
  A minorAm  E MajorE    A minorAm
And God I know I'm one

  A minorAm   C majorC   DmDm  FF
My mother was a tailor
  A minorAm    C majorC    E MajorE  E7E7
She sewed my new bluejeans
  A minorAm   C majorC   DmDm    FF
My father was a gamblin' man
A minorAm   E MajorE   A minorAm
Down in New Orleans

    A minorAm  C majorC    DmDm   FF
Now the only thing a gambler needs
   A minorAm    C majorC   E MajorE  E7E7
Is a suitcase and a trunk
    A minorAm  C majorC     DmDm  FF
And the only time he's satisfied
  A minorAm    E MajorE  A minorAm
Is when he's on a drunk

  A minorAm   C majorC     DmDm   FF
Oh mother tell your children
    A minorAm   C majorC   E MajorE  E7E7
Not to do what I have done
A minorAm     C majorC    DmDm   FF
Spend your lives in sin and misery
    A minorAm      E MajorE   A minorAm
In the House of the Rising Sun

      A minorAm    C majorC   DmDm   FF
Well, I got one foot on the platform
  A minorAm     C majorC   E MajorE  E7E7
The other foot on the train
  A minorAm  C majorC    DmDm  FF
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
  A minorAm    E MajorE    A minorAm
To wear that ball and chain

      A minorAm  C majorC    DmDm  FF
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
   A minorAm    C majorC   E MajorE E7E7
They call the Rising Sun
     A minorAm    C majorC    DmDm     FF
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
  A minorAm  E MajorE    A minorAm
And God I know I'm one
