  			Intro:  Am C D F Am  E Am E    
    
 Am7       C        D    F   
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          Am      C D  F Am E Am E    
And God, I know, I'm one    
Am       C         D   F  
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     Am       
Down in New Orleans    
Interlúde: C D F Am E Am E  
Am             C       D       F   
And the only things 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         Am    C D F Am E Am E    
Is when he's all a-drunk  
  
Interlude: Am C D F Am C E Am C D F Am E Am C D F Am E Am E  

Am       C             D    F    
So mothers, tell your children    
Am         C          E    
Not to do what I have done    
    Am          C       D        F    
Spend your life in sin and misery    
Am                          E         Am       
In the house of the Rising Sun    
Am         C                 D     F    
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          Am  C D F Am E Am E     
And God, I know, I'm one
