Intro: :6/8: Em Em7 | G
       A A | C C
       Em | B B | Em Em7 | B B

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

Instrumental: :6/8: Em | G
              A A | C C
              Em Em7 | B B7 | Em | B B7

   Em     G     A       C7
My mother was a tailor,
    Em       G        B7
She sewed my new blue jeans.
   Em     G     A        C
My father was a gambling man
Em      B7    Em
Down in New Orleans.

Instrumental: :6/8: Em | G | A | C
              Em | B7 | Em | B7

         Em   G       A       C7
Now, the only thing a gambler needs
     Em       G     B7
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
        Em   G       A        C
And the only time he’s satisfied
   Em        B7      Em
Is when he’s on a drunk.

Instrumental: :6/8: Em | G | A | C
              Em | B7 | Em | B7

              Em | B7 | Em | B7

    Em    G               A    C7
Oh, mother, tell your children
       Em      G      B7
Not to do what I have done.
Em         G        A              C7
Spend your lives in sin and misery
       Em           B7       Em
In the house of the Rising Sun.

Instrumental: :6/8: Em | G | A | C
              Em | B7 | Em | B7

               Em       G         A      C7
Well, I’ve got one foot on the platform,
    Em         G         B7
The other foot on the train.
    Em    G       A           C7
I’m going back to New Orleans
   Em        B7          Em
To wear that ball and chain.

Instrumental: :6/8: Em | G | A | C
              Em | B7 | Em | B7

            Em   G        A        C7

     Em       G      B7
They call the Rising Sun.
         Em       G       A           C
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy,
     Em     B7       Em
And, God, I know I’m one.
