      Am   C        D     F
There is a house in New Orleans

     Am       C      E     E
they call the Rising Sun

         Am       C       D           F
and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

     Am     E        Am       E
and, God, I know I'm one.
[Part 2]
   Am     C     D    F
My mother was a tailorest,

    Am       C       E     E
she sewed my new bluejeans;

   Am     C     D        F
my father was a gamblin' man

Am      E     Am       E
down in New Orleans.
[Part 3]
         Am   C       D       F
Now, the only thing a gambler needs

     Am       C     E     E
is a suitcase and a trunk

        Am   C         D         F
and the only time that he's satisfied

   Am        E        Am       E
is when he's down and drunk.
[Part 4]
    Am      C               D         F
So, mothers tell, tell your children

       Am      C      E                 E
not to do what I have done ... aahoooo,

       Am          C        D           F
not to spend there lives in sin and misery

       Am           E      Am       E
in the House of the Rising Sun.
[Part 5]
      Am       C      D        F
I got one foot on the platform

      Am    C      E     E
and another on the train;

    Am    C              D     F
I'm goin' now (home?) to New Orleans

   Am        E        Am       E
to wear that ball and chain.
[Part 6]
      Am   C        D     F

they call the Rising Sun

         Am       C       D           F
and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

     Am     E        Am       E
and, God, I know I'm one.
