Title:  House of the Rising Sun
				 				
      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 a poor boy			
    Am    E        Am    C    D    F   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     G        F					
My father was a gamblin' man					
Am      E     Am     C    D    F   Am   E   Am   E		
Down in New Orleans 						
								
        Am   C       D       F					
Now the only thing a gambler needs 				
      Am      C   E						
Is a suitcase and trunk 					
        Am   C    D          F					
And the only time he's satisfied 				
   Am        E    Am     C    D   F   Am   E   Am  E		
Is when he's on a drunk 					
 
  *** Organ Solo *** 
 								
   Am    C          D         F					
Oh mother tell your children					
       Am      C      E									
Not to do what I have done					
Am         C        G       F								
Spend your lives in sin and misery				
       Am           E      Am    C   D   F   Am   E   Am   E	
In the House of the Rising Sun					
  								
        Am      C           D         F				
Well, I got one foot on the platform				
    Am         C      E						
The other foot on the train					
    Am    C       G      F								
I'm goin' back to New Orleans					
   Am        E        Am     C     D    F    Am   E   Am   E	
To wear that ball and chain 					
 								
            Am   C        D      F				
Well, there is a house in New Orleans				
     Am       C      E						
They call the Rising Sun					
         Am       C       G           F				
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy			
    Am    E        Am    C    D   F   Am   E  Am   E		
And God I know I'm one
