House Of The Rising Sun
Am C D F
Am E Am 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 C D F Am E Am E
And God, I know, I'm one
Am C D F
My mother was a tailor

Am C D F
My father was a gambling man
Am E Am C D F Am E Am E
Down in New Orleans.
Am C D F
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Am C E E7
Is a suitcase and a trunk
Am C D F
And the only time, he's satisfied,
Am E Am C D F Am E Am E
Is when he's on a drunk
Am C D F

Am C E E7
Not to do what I have done
Am C D F
Spend your lives in sin and misery
Am E Am C D F Am E Am E
In the House of Rising Sun
Am C D F

Am C E E7
The other foot on the train
Am C D F
I'm going back to New Orleans
Am E Am C D F Am E Am E
To wear that ball and chain
Am C D F
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
Am C E E7
They call the "Rising Sun"
Am C D F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Am E7 Am C D F Am E Am E
And God, I know, I'm one
