Em G A C Em G BEm G A C Em B Em [Verse]
EmGAC There is a house in Sin City
EmGB They call the Rising Sun
EmGAC And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
EmBEm And God, I know I'm one
EmGAC My mother was a tailor
EmGB She sewed my new blue jeans
EmGAC My father was a gamblin' man
EmBEm Down in Sin City
Em G A C Em G BEm G A C Em B Em [Verse]
EmGAC Now the only thing a gambler needs
EmGB Is a suitcase and a trunk
EmGAC And the only time he's satisfied
EmBEm Is when he's on a drunk
 [Chorus]
EmGAC Well, I've got one foot on the platform
EmGB The other's on the train
EmGAC I'm goin' back to Sin City
EmBEm To wear that ball and chain
EmEm G A C Em G BEm G A C Em B Em [Chorus]
EmGAC Well, mothers, tell your children
EmGB Never do what I have done
EmGAC Spend your lives in sin and misery
EmBEm In the house of the Rising Sun
EmBEm In the house of the Rising Sun
EmGAC Well, there is a house in Sin City
EmGB They call the Rising Sun
EmGAC And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
EmBEm
