[Intro] | C#m | E | F# | A | | C#m | E | G# | G# | | C#m | E | F# | A | | C#m | G# | C#m | [Verse 1]

      C#m  E        F#         Asus2
There is a house in New Orleans

     C#m      E      G#
They call the Rising Sun

         C#m      E       F#          Asus2
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

    C#m   G#        C#m
And God I know, I'm one

[Verse 2]

   C#m    E          F#    A
My mother, she was a tailor

C#m      E        G#
Sewed my new blue jeans

   C#m     E        F#       A
My father, he was a gambling man

C#m     G#    C#m
Down in New Orleans

[Verse 3]

        C#m  E       F#      Asus2
Now the only thing a gambler needs

     C#m      E     G#
Is a suitcase and a trunk

        C#m  E         F#   Asus2
And the only time he's satisfied

   C#m       G#   C#m    G#
Is when he's on a drunk

[Solo] | C#m | E | F# | A | | C#m | E | G# | G# | | C#m | E | F# | A | | C#m | G# | C#m | G# | | C#m | E | F# | A | | C#m | E | G# | G# | | C#m | E | F# | A | | C#m | G# | C#m | C#m | [Verse 4]

   C#m    E          F#      Asus2
Oh mother, tell your children

       C#m        E    G#
Not to do, what I have done

 C#m       E        F#          Asus2
Spend your lives in sin and misery

       C#m          G#     C#m    G#
In the House of the Rising Sun

[Verse 5]

          C#m     E           F#      A
Well I've got one foot on the platform

    C#m   E      G#
The other on the train, yeah

    C#m   E       F#    A
I'm goin' back to New Orleans

   C#m       G#       C#m    G#
To wear that ball and chain

[Verse 6]

           C#m  E        F#         A
Well there is a house in New Orleans

     C#m      E      G#
They call the Rising Sun

         C#m      E       F#          A
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

    C#m  G#
And God    I know

N.C. I'm the one
