Verse 1:
      Am    C        D           F
There is a house in New Orleans,
      Am      C      E
They call it 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.

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

[Instrumental 1]

Verse 3:
        Am     C      D       F
And the only thing a gambler needs
      Am      C       E
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
        Am    C    D          F
And the only time he is satisfied
     Am      E      Am ->
Is when he's on a drunk.

      Am   C             D      F
Oh mother,   tell your children
        Am     C       E
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 a Rising sun.

[Instrumental 1]

Verse 5:
              Am       C        D       F
Well I've got one foot on the platform,
    Am     C            E
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.
