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

   F#m    A     B       D7
My mother was a tailor,
    F#m      A        C#7
She sewed my new blue jeans.
   F#m    A     B        D
My father was a gambling man
F#m     C#7   F#m
Down in New Orleans.

              F#m | C#7 | F#m | C#7

         F#m  A       B       D7
Now, the only thing a gambler needs
     F#m      A     C#7
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
        F#m  A       B        D
And the only time he’s satisfied
   F#m       C#7     F#m
Is when he’s on a drunk.

    F#m   A               B    D7
Oh, mother, tell your children
       F#m     A      C#7
Not to do what I have done.
F#m        A        B              D7
Spend your lives in sin and misery
       F#m          C#7      F#m
In the house of the Rising Sun.

               F#m      A         B      D7
Well, I’ve got one foot on the platform,
    F#m        A         C#7
The other foot on the train.
    F#m   A       B           D7
I’m going back to New Orleans
   F#m       C#7         F#m
To wear that ball and chain.
