**Lyrics:**
    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  
And God, I know I'm one  

    Am             C  
My mother was a tailor  
       D                F  
She sewed my new blue jeans  
      Am              E  
My father was a gambling man  
     Am           C  
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  
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  
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  
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  
And God, I know I'm one
