Am C D F
There is a house in New Orleans
Am C. E E
They call the "Rising Sun"
Am C D F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Am E. | Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
And God, I know, I'm one (organ plays E7)
My mother was a tailor (organ: F7)
She sewed my new blue jeans (organ: E7)
My father was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans. (organ plays E7)
Now the only thing a gambler needs (organ: F7)
Is a suitcase and a trunk (organ: E7)
And the only time, he's satisfied,
Is when he's on a drunk (organ plays E7)

Oh, mother, tell your children (organ: F7)
Not to do what I have done (organ: E7)
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun (organ plays E7)
Well, I got one foot on the platform (organ plays F7)
The other foot on the train (organ: E7)
I'm going back to New Orleans (organ: F7)
To wear that ball and chain (organ plays E7#9)
Well, there is a house in New Orleans (organ: F7)
They call the "Rising Sun" (organ: E7)
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know, I'm one
