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         E  
And God, I know I'm one.  

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

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       E  
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       E  
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          E  
To wear that ball and chain.
