[Verse 1]
      Am   C            D      F
There is a house in New Orleans

    Am       C      E
You call the Rising Sun

     Am       C       D           F
It's been the ruin of many a poor soul

    Am     E           Am C D F Am E Am E
And me, oh God, I'm one
[Verse 2]
        Am     C        D         F
If I'd listened to what mama said

    Am    C      E
I'd be at home today

Am       C          D            F
Being so young and foolish, poor girl

        Am          E      Am C D F Am E Am E
I let a gambler lead me astray
[Verse 3]
   Am     C       D     F
My mother she's a tailor

Am         C        E
Sews those new blue jeans

   Am          C      D         F
My sweetheart, he's a drunkard, Lord God

   Am             E        Am C D F Am E Am E
He drinks down in New Orleans
[Verse 4]
   Am        C       D      F
He fills his glasses to the brim

Am     C      E
Passes them around

    Am   C                D           F
The only pleasure that he gets out of life

     Am           E        Am C D F Am E Am E
Is a hoboin' from town to town
[Verse 5]
    Am   C       D        F
The only thing a drunkard needs

     Am       C     E
Is a suitcase and a trunk

    Am   C              D    F
The only time that he's half satisfied

   Am        E    Am C D F Am E Am E
Is when he's on a drunk
[Verse 6]
       Am      C    D     F
Go and tell my baby sister

      Am      C      E
Never do like I have done

Am        C             D   F
Shun that house down in New Orleans

          Am        E      Am C D F Am E Am E
That they call that Rising Sun.
[Verse 7]
     Am       C      D       F
It's one foot on the platform,

Am       C      E
One foot on the train.

    Am    C            D      F
I'm going back down to New Orleans

   Am      E           Am C D F Am E Am E
To wear my ball and my chain
[Verse 8]
   Am      C      D     F
My life is almost over

   Am      C       E
My race is almost run

Am         C       D      F
Going back down to New Orleans

        Am           E      Am C D F Am E Am E
To that house of the Rising Sun
