The Animals – House Of The Rising Sun (Guitar)

      Am   C        D           F
There is a house in New Orleans

     Am       C      E   E
They call the Risin' Sun

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

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

   Am     C     D           F
My mother was a tailor.

    Am       C        E     E
She sewed my new blue jeans.

   Am     C     D        F
My father was a gamblin' man

Am      E      Am
Down in New Or-leans.

         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
Is when he's on a drunk

    Am     C          D        F
Oh, Mother, tell your children

       Am      C      E     E
Not to do what I have done.

Am         C        D          F
Spend your lives in sin and misery

       Am           E      Am
In the house of the risin' sun.

               Am       C      D        F
Well, I've got one foot on the platform,

    Am         C      E     E
the other foot on the train.

    Am    C       D           F
I'm goin' back to New Orleans

   Am        E        Am
To wear that ball and chain.

            Am   C        D           F
Well, there is a house in New Orleans

     Am       C      E     E
They call the Risin' Sun

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

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