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 poor boys
Am E Am C D F Am E Am E7
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 gambling man
Am E Am C D F Am E Am E7
Down in New Orleans
Am C D F
And the only things a gambler needs
Am C E E
Is a suitcase and a trunk
Am C D F
And the only time he is satisfied
Am E Am C D F Am E Am E7
Is when he's all a-drunk
Am C D F
So mothers, tell your children
Am C E E
Not to do what I have done
Am C D F
Spend your life in sin and misery
Am E F C D F Am E Am E7
In the house of the Rising Sun
Am C D F
I've got one foot on the platform
Am C E E
The other foot on the train
Am C D F
I'm going back to New Orleans
Am C Am C D F Am E Am E7
To wear the ball and chain
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 poor boys
Am E Am C D F Am E Am E7 Am
And God, I know, I'm one
