The House Of The Rising Sun

[Intro] Am  C  D  F
        Am  E  Am  E

      Am    C        D       F
There is a house in New Orleans
      Am       C      E
They call the Rising Sun
          Am       C       D         F
And It's been the ruin of many poor boys
     Am      E       Am   E
And God, I know, I'm one

    Am     C     D     F
My mother was a tailor
     Am       C         E
She sewed my new blue jeans
    Am     C     D        F
My father was a gambling man
 Am      E      Am  E
Down in New Orleans

        Am     C       D       F
And the only things a gambler needs
      Am      C       E
Is a suitcase and a trunk
        Am    C      D        F
And the only time he feels satisfied
     Am      E       Am  E
Is when he's all a-drunk

    Am     C             D      F
So mothers,  tell your children
        Am     C       E
Not to do what I have done
  Am        C       D           F
Spend your lives in sin and misery
        Am          E       Am  E
In the house of the Rising Sun

    Am      C            D      F
I've got one foot on the platform
    Am         C          E
And the other foot on the train
     Am          C       D      F
I'm going right back on down to New Orleans
    Am       E         Am  E
To wear the ball and chain

      Am    C        D        F
There is a house in New Orleans
      Am       C      E
They call the Rising Sun
    Am            C       D         F
And It's been the ruin of many poor boys
     Am       E      Am  E
And God, I know, I'm one

And It's been the ruin of many poor boys
     Am       E      Am  E
And God, I know, I'm one
