[Verse 1]
E        Am  C        D
  There is a house in New Orleans
F    Am       C      E7
They call the Rising Sun
         Am       C       D           F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am     E        Am
And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
       Am    C        E7
She sewed my new blue jeans
   Am     C     D        F
My father was a gamblin' man
Am      E   Am
Down in New Orleans

E         Am   C       D       F
  Now the only thing a gambler needs
   Am         C     E7
Is a suitcase and a trunk
        Am   C         D     F
And the only time he's satisfied
   Am        E    Am
Is when he's on a drunk

       Am      C      E7
Not to do what I have done
Am         C        D       F
Spend your lives in sin and misery
       Am           E      Am
In the House of the Rising Sun

E       Am       C      D         F
  Well, one foot on the platform
    Am    C      E7
The other on the train
    Am    C       D   F
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
   Am        E        Am     E
To wear that ball and chain
      Am   C        D   F
there is a house in New Orleans
     Am       C      E7
They call the Rising Sun
         Am       C       D           F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am     E        Am
And God, I know I'm one
    Am     E        Am
And God, I know I'm one
    Am     E        Am
And God, I know I'm one
              There is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it's been the ruins of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans

The only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
The only time that he's satisfied
Is when he's all a'drunk

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery
In the house of the rising sun

With one foot on the platform
The other on a train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
And God, I know I'm one
And God, I know I'm one
