Chords

This is a fingerstyle arrangement of The House of This Rising Sun by The Animals. i take no credit for this arrangment for all credit goes to "mandelstamdavid" from his Tab Pro. i have put his Tab Pro into this Sheet Tab format for those out their like me who love the song but learn faster on sheet tab rather than trying to scroll through a Tab Pro. Also, for those whom would like to Print it out to learn. This Arrangement uses Standard tuning, without a capo, and would be considered by most as an Advanced or high level intermediate arrangement of the song as you play the vocals while accompanying yourself with the rythem/base melody of the song. 3/4 timing. metronome at 112.
