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

Am            C          D         F
My mother was a tailor,
Am             E             Am
She sewed these new blue jeans.
Am               C          D        F
My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord,
Am           E              Am
Down in New Orleans. 

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

Am             C         D        F
Oh, mother, tell your children
Am              E          Am
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             E            Am
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. 

Am             C         D        F
There is a house in New Orleans,
Am              E            Am

Am               C         D          F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,

And God, I know I'm one.
