First verse
 AmCDF
    There is a house in New Orleans  
 AmCEE
    they call the Rising Sun   
 AmCDF
    And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
 AmEAmC
    And, God, I know I'm one    

Interlude
 DFAmEAmE
Second verse
 AmCDF
    My mother was a tailor  
 AmCEE
    She sewed my new blue jeans  
 AmCDF
    My father was a gamblin' man
 AmEAmC
    Down in New Orleans     

Interlude
 DFAmEAmE
Third verse
 AmCDF
    Now the only thing a gambler needs
 AmCEE
    is a suitcase and a trunk  
 AmCDF
    And the only time that he's satisfied
 AmEAmC
    is when he's on a drunk  

Interlude
 DFAmEAmE
Organ solo

Fourth verse
 AmCDF
    Oh, mother, tell your children  
 AmCEE
    not to do what I have done  
 AmCDF
    spend your lives in sin and misery
 AmEAmC
    in the house of the Rising Sun    

Interlude
 DFAmEAmE
Fifth verse
 AmCDF
    Well I've got one foot on the platform   
 AmCEE
    the other foot on the train  
 AmCDF
    I'm going back to New Orleans
 AmEAmC
    to wear that ball and chain  

Interlude
 DFAmEAmE
Sixth verse
 AmCDF
    Well There is a house in New Orleans
 AmCEE
    they call the Rising Sun   
 AmCDF
    And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
 AmEAmC
    And, God, I know I'm one    

Outro
Strum each of these chords (same chords as Interlude) once while the
organ plays, and end on an Am if you want.
 DFAmEAmEAm

Zacman1989 (report comment to admin): 
I believe it's a B-flat and and A7... At least, it sounded pretty good when I played it that way.
kolatchew (report comment to admin): 
the C at the end of each verse should be an E
richter026 (report comment to admin): 
I believe the C is correct...
Deraj (report comment to admin): 
The C is correct but it should be included in the Interlude... Am C D F ...
BIGmanlittleUKE (report comment to admin):

Chrisaty (report comment to admin):
