Intro: AmCDFAmCEEAmCDF
There is a house in New Orleans,
AmCE
They call the Rising Sun
AmCDF
And It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
AmEAmCDFAmEAmE
And God, I know, I'm one
AmCDF
My mother was a tailor
AmCE
She sewed my new blue jeans
AmCDF
My father was a gambling man
AmEAmCDFAmEAmE
Down in New Orleans
AmCDF
And the only things a gambler needs
AmCE
Is a suitcase and a trunk
AmCDF
And the only time he's satisfied
AmEAmCDFAmEAmE
Is when he's all a-drunk
AmCDF
I've got one foot on the platform
AmCE
The other foot on the train
AmCDF
I'm going back to New Orleans
AmEAmCDFAmEAmE
To wear the ball and chain
AmCDF
So mothers, tell your children
AmCE
Not to do what I have done
AmCDF
Spend your life in sin and misery
AmEAmCDFAmEAmE
In the house of the Rising Sun
AmCDF
There is a house in New Orleans,
AmCEE
They call the Rising Sun
AmCDF
And It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
AmEAmCDFAmEAmE
And God, I know, I'm one
