      Gm   Bb       C            D#
There is a house in New Orleans,
     Gm       Bb     D
They call the Rising Sun.
Dadd9+   Gm       Bb      C             D#
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy,
     Gm     D    Dadd9+ Gm
And, God, I know I’m one.

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

Now, the only thing a gambler needs
     Gm       Bb    D7
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
        Gm   Bb      C        D#
And the only time he’s satisfied
   Gm        D7      Gm
Is when he’s on a drunk.

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

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