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

My mother was a tailor
     Am    C        E    E7
she sew my new blue jeans
   Am     C     D        F
My father was a gambling man
Am      E      Am
down in New Orleans

The only thing a gambler needs 
     Am       C     E    E7
is a suitcase and a trunk
        Am   C         D          F
and the only time that he is satisfied
   Am        E    Am
is when he's on a drunk


Prehod:


   Am     C          D        F
Oh mother, tell your children 
       Am      C      E    E7
not to do what I have done
     Am         C        D          F
Just spend your life sincere in misery
       Am           E      Am
in the house of the Rising Sun


Prehod:


     Am      C           D        F
I've got one foot on the platform
     Am   C         E    E7
the other foot on a train
    Am    C       D     F
I'm going back to New Orleans
   Am        E        Am
to wear that ball and chain
