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

   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 gamblin' man
Am      E     Am ... C D F Am E Am E
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

*** musical bridge ***

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

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

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

And God I know I'm one
