      Am    C       D          F
There is a house in New Orleans,
      Am      C      E
They call it "Rising 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.

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
Down in New Orleans.

        Am     C      D       F
And the only thing a gambler needs
      Am       C      E
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
        Am    C    D     F
And the only time he is satisfied
     Am      E      Am
Is when he's on a drunk.

    Am     C    D     F
Oh mother 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
In the House of the Rising sun.

           Am          C        D      F
Well I've got one foot on the platform
    Am         C        E
The other foot on the train.
     Am    C       D         F
I'm going back to New Orleans
    Am        E         Am
To wear that ball and chain.
