      C#m  E        F#           A
There is a house in New Orleans,
     C#m      E      G#
They call the Rising Sun.
G#add9+  C#m      E       F#            A
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy,
     C#m    G#   G#add9+ C#m
And, God, I know I’m one.

   C#m    E     F#      A7
My mother was a tailor,
    C#m      E        G#7
She sewed my new blue jeans.
   C#m    E     F#       A
My father was a gambling man
C#m     G#7   C#m
Down in New Orleans.

         C#m  E       F#      A7
Now, the only thing a gambler needs
     C#m      E     G#7
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
        C#m  E       F#       A
And the only time he’s satisfied
   C#m       G#7     C#m
Is when he’s on a drunk.

    C#m   E               F#   A7
Oh, mother, tell your children
       C#m     E      G#7
Not to do what I have done.
C#m        E        F#             A7
Spend your lives in sin and misery
       C#m          G#7      C#m
In the house of the Rising Sun.

               C#m      E         F#     A7
Well, I’ve got one foot on the platform,
    C#m        E         G#7
The other foot on the train.
    C#m   E       F#          A7
I’m going back to New Orleans
   C#m       G#7         C#m
To wear that ball and chain.
