B|-------1--1------------0--------------1--1----------------0---------------| AmCDF There is a house in New Orleans
AmCEE they call the Rising Sun
AmCDF And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
AmEAmC And, God, I know I'm one

AmCDF My mother was a tailor
AmCEE She sewed my new blue jeans
AmCDF My father was a gamblin' man
AmEAmC Down in New Orleans
DFAmEAmE
AmCDF Now the only thing a gambler needs
AmCEE is a suitcase and a trunk
AmCDF And the only time that he's satisfied
AmEAmC is when he's on a drunk
DFAmEAmE
(Organ solo) AmCDF Oh, mother, tell your children
AmCEE not to do what I have done
AmCDF spend your lives in sin and misery
AmEAmC in the house of the Rising Sun
DFAmEAmE
AmCDF Well I've got one foot on the platform
AmCEE the other foot on the train
AmCDF I'm going back to New Orleans
AmEAmC to wear that ball and chain
DFAmEAmE
AmCDF Well There is a house in New Orleans
AmCEE they call the Rising Sun
AmCDF And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
AmEAmC And, God, I know I'm one
organ plays, and end on an Am if you want. DFAmEAmEAm
