INTRO: Am/C/D/F/Am/C/E7/E7

There is a house in New Orleans,
They call the Rising Sun.
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
     Am  E7     Am  (E7)
And God, I know I'm one.

My mother was a tailor,
She sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man,
     Am   E7   Am  (E7)
Down in New Orleans.

BREAK: Am/C/D/F/Am/C/E7/E7/Am/C/D/F/Am/E7/Am

Now mothers, tell your children,
Not to do what I have done.
Spend their life in shame and misery,
In the house of the Rising Sun.   Am
