There is a house in New Orleans
     Am        C      E
They call the "Rising Sun"
         Am       C       D              F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am     E         
And God, I know, I'm one

My mother was a tailor
    Am       C        E
She sewed my new blue jeans
   Am     C     D        F
My father was a gambling man
Am      E
Down in New Orleans.

Now the only thing a gambler needs
     Am       C     E
Is a suitcase and a trunk
        Am   C     D         F
And the only time, he's satisfied, 
   Am        E
Is when he's on a drunk

O, mother, tell your children
       Am      C      E
Not to do what I have done
Am         C        D           F
Spend your lives in sin and misery
       Am       E     
In the House of Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
    Am         C      E
The other foot on the train
    Am    C       D     F
I'm going back to New Orleans
   Am        E
To wear that ball and chain
