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

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

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

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

   Am              C  
Oh, mother, tell your children  
        D                  F  
Not to do what I have done  
      Am                C  
Spend your lives in sin and misery  
       E               Am  
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               C  
I'm going back to New Orleans  
       E                Am  
To wear that ball and chain  

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