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!
