 Am         C        D     F 
There is a house in New Orleans,

They call the Rising Sun 

    Am            C       D           F

Am         E         Am    C D F Am E Am E 
And God, I know, I'm one 

Am        C     D     F

Am            C      E 
Is a suitcase and a trunk

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

Am            C      E 
Not to do what I have done
