IntroB5G5D5F#5G5B5G5D5F#5G5DDGDEmF#mGEmDGDEmF#mGEmD5Verse 1BmG/BD
There is a house in New Orleans
F#mD/F#G
They call the Rising Sun
BmG/BD
And it's been the ruin of many poor souls
F#mD/F#G
And lord, my father is one
F#mE5
My mother, she's a tailor
EGD
She sews those blue blue jeans
BmD
To keep my gambling father drunk
F#mD/F#G
Deep down in New Orleans
[Refrain]
GF#5DG
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day
[Break]
D5DGDEmF#mGEmDGDEmF#mGEmD5Verse 2BmG/BD
Like a bird flying over forest fire
F#mD/F#G
My father feels the heat beneath his wings
BmG/BD
And in debt he leaves for another tower
F#mD/F#G
Where he gambles and drunk he still drinks
F#mE5
My mother hides from pleasure
EGD
Sees the father on her knees
BmD
Left it in the arms of God
F#mD/F#G
Away from New Orleans
[Refrain]
GF#5DG
Happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day
GF#5DG
Happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day
