A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF A minorAm E7E7 A minorAm E7E7

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

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

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

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

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

      A minorAm  C majorC    D MajorD     FF
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
   A minorAm    C majorC   E7E7
They call the Rising Sun
     A minorAm    C majorC    D MajorD      FF
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

  A minorAm  E7E7    A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF A minorAm E7E7 A minorAm
And God I know I'm one
