Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am | C | D  | F |
| Am | E | Am |

[Verse 1]
E      Am   C        D          F
 There is a house in New Orleans
     Am       C      E
They call the 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

[Interlude]
              | C |

[Verse 2]
E   Am     C     D
 My mother was a tailor
F    Am       C        E
 She sewed my new blue jeans
   Am     C     D        F
My father was a gamblin' man
    Am   E     Am
Down  in New Orleans

[Interlude]
     | C | D  | F |
| Am | E | Am |

[Verse 3]
E        Am   C       D            F
 Now the only thing a gambler needs
     Am       C     E
Is a suitcase and a trunk
        Am   C         D    F
And the only time he's satisfied
   Am        E    Am
Is when he's on a drunk

[Verse 4]
E   Am    C          D
 Oh mother tell your children
F       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 the Rising Sun

[Verse 5]
E       Am      C       D           F
 Well I 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
