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

My mother was a tailor,  
   Am           C        D         F  
She sewed my new blue jeans.  
      Am         C        E  
My father was a gambling man,  
   Am        C        D     F  
Down in New Orleans.  

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

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

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

There is a house in New Orleans,

They call the Rising Sun.  
    Am          C           E  
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,  
    Am         C        D      F  
And God, I know I'm one.
