INTRO
Am  C  Dm  F  Am  E  Am

Am          C        Dm       F
There is a house in New Orleans
    Am        C       E
They call the Rising Sun
         Am        C       Dm        F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
     Am      E       Am
And Lord I know I'm one

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

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Live your life in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

SOLO
Am  C  Dm  F  Am  E  Am

I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm going down to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

There is a house in New Orleans
They call it the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And Lord I know I'm one

SOLO
Am  C  Dm  F  Am  E  Am

Am                C          Dm        F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am      E        Am
And Lord I know I'm one
