[Intro] Am C Dm F Am E Am [Verse 1]
      Am   C             Dm     F
There is a house down in New Orleans

     Am       C      E
They call the Risin' Sun

         Am       C       Dm          F
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl

    Am     E         Am    C  Dm  F  E
And me, oh God, I'm a-one
[Verse 2]
 Am   C        Dm     F
My mother was a taylor

     Am        C          E
She sewed these new blue jeans

   Am          C       Dm      F
My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord

Am     E         Am    C  Dm  F  E
Down in New Orleans
[Verse 3]
  Am          C           Dm     F
Now the only thing a gambler needs

     Am       C      E
Is a suitcase and a trunk

      Am     C         Dm        F
And the only time he's satisfied

    Am       E      Am    C  Dm  F  E
Is when he's on a drunk
[Verse 4]
  Am         C        Dm       F
He fills his glasses up to the brim

         Am       C         E
And he'll pace the cards around

         Am       C       Dm          F
And the only pleasure he gets out of life

    Am        E         Am     C  Dm  F  E
Is ramblin' from town to town
[Verse 5]
  Am   C       Dm     F
Oh tell my baby sister

     Am      C      E
Not to do what I have done

      Am       C       Dm        F
But shun that house in New Orleans

    Am       E       Am    C  Dm  F  E
They call the Risin' Sun
[Verse 6]
   Am       C           Dm       F
Well, it's one foot on the platform

     Am       C           E
And the other foot on the train

 Am       C       Dm        F
I'm goin' back to New Orleans

   Am        E        Am    C  Dm  F  E
To wear that ball and chain
[Verse 7]
     Am    C         Dm       F
I'm a-goin' back to New Orleans

     Am       C      E
My race is almost run

Am       C       Dm        F
I'm goin' back to end my life

 Am          E      Am    C  Dm  F  E
Down in the Risin' Sun
[Verse 8]
  Am       C         Dm       F
There is a house in New Orleans

     Am       C      E
They call the Risin' Sun

      Am       C       Dm        F
It's been the ruin of many poor girl

    Am     E         Am    C  Dm  F  E Am     
And me, oh God, Im a-one
