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