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

   G#m    B     C#      E7
My mother was a tailor,
    G#m      B        D#7
She sewed my new blue jeans.
   G#m    B     C#       E
My father was a gambling man
G#m     D#7   G#m
Down in New Orleans.

         G#m  B       C#      E7
Now, the only thing a gambler needs
     G#m      B     D#7
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
        G#m  B       C#       E
And the only time he’s satisfied
   G#m       D#7     G#m
Is when he’s on a drunk.

    G#m   B               C#   E7
Oh, mother, tell your children
       G#m     B      D#7
Not to do what I have done.
G#m        B        C#             E7
Spend your lives in sin and misery
       G#m          D#7      G#m
In the house of the Rising Sun.

Well, I’ve got one foot on the platform,
    G#m        B         D#7
The other foot on the train.
    G#m   B       C#          E7
I’m going back to New Orleans
   G#m       D#7         G#m
To wear that ball and chain.
