Am C D F Am E 

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 my new blue jeans
Am                C         D         F
My father was a gamblin' man
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 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
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
