There is  a  house  in  New Orleans,
 
 -6   -6  -6   6  5   5
They call the Rising Sun.
 
-6  -6   -6   -3   4   5  -4 3  3  3    3
And it's been the ruin of many  a poor boy,

-3   3     3    -2  2     -2   3
And God,   I    kn-ow     I'm one.
 
 -6   7 -6    6  4  -4 3
 My  mother  was a  tailor,
 
  -6   -6   6   5     5
 Sewed  my new blue jeans.
 
 -6   -6  -6     6  4  -4 3 3      4
 My    fa-ther  was a  gamblin'   man,
 
 3   3  -2  2 -2 3
Down in New Orleans.

-6  -6    -6  -6     6   4  -4  3    4
Now the   onl--y   thing a gambler needs,
 
-6    -6    -6  -6     6   5    5
 Is    a    suitcase  and  a  trunk, 

-6  -6   -6 -6      6     4    -4     
And the   o-nly    time he'll   be,

3   3  4     3   3    3  -2  2 -2    3
Sa-tisfied, is when he's a-ll   a  drunk. 

 2  3 -3   4    5     -4 3 3
Oh mother tell your  children,



-6   -6  -6    -6    6    5   5
Not  to   do   what  I  have done.
 
  7   -3     4   5  -4   3  3 3 3
Spend your lives in sin and misery, 

 3  3    3    3 -2   2 -2   3
In the house of the rising sun. 

 -6  -6    -6   6   4  -4   3    3  4
Well I've  got one foot on the platform.
 
-6   -6   -6   6   5    5
The other foot on the train.
 
-6    -6 -6     6   4  -4   3 3 4
I'm   go--in'  back to New Orleans, 

-3  3    3   -2    2 -2   3      
To wear that ball  and  chain

-6    -6   -6    -6     6   4   -4   3  3
Well there  is    a   house in  New Orleans,
 
 -6   -6   -6     6  5     5
They call  the   Rising   Sun. 

-6   -6    -6   -3   4    5 -4 3 3   3   4
And  it's  been the ruin of many a poor boy, 

-3   3   3   -2      2 -2     3
And God, I   know    I'm     one.
