**Chords:**
Am C D F Am E

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

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

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

Am             C
Oh, mother, tell your children
       D              F
Not to do what I have done
         Am                E
Spend your lives in sin and misery
       Am           C  E
In the House of the Rising Sun

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

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