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

              C      Am   E7
They call the rising sun

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

          E7       Am
And me oh God, I'm one
[Verse 2]
           C       D
My mother, she's a tailor

    Am         C        Am    E7
She sews those new blue jeans

   Am       C      D        Am
My husband, he's a gambling man

               E7    Am
Drinks down in New Orleans
[Verse 3]
                 C      D
Yes, my husband, he's a gambler

   Am        C       Am   E7
He goes from town to town

        Am   C         D    Am
And the only time he's satisfied

                      E7     Am
Is when he drinks his liquor down
[Verse 4]
              C    D
Go 'n tell my baby sister

      Am      C      Am   E7
Never do like I have done

   Am        C        D     Am
To shun that house in New Orleans

              E7     Am
They call the rising sun
[Verse 5}
           C      D
One foot's on the platform

        Am      C      Am    E7
And the other's on the train

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

             E7       Am
To wear that ball and chain
[Verse 6]
      C       D     Am
Going back to New Orleans

           C      Am  E7
My race is almost run

    Am       C         D          Am
I'm going to spend the rest of my life

             E7      Am
Beneath that rising sun
