[Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [Bm] There [Em] is a house in New Orleans, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] they _ call it the [C] Rising Sun, [B] _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [D] and it's been the ruin
[Am] of many [B] a poor [C] girl _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
and me, oh God.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [B] If I had only listened to [Em] what my mama said, [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ [D] I'd be at home
[C] _ _ _ [D] _
[B] today.
_ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [D] But being so [C] _ [Am] young and [Em]
foolish, [Am] my Lord, [Em] _ _
_ _ _ [E] let a [B] gamblin' [Em] lead me astray.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [B] Now my mama [Em] is a [A] tailor, _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [D] _ _ she soaks, [C] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [Dm] and my [G] sweetheart [C] _ is a [B]
[Am] drunkard, Lord, _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [Db] drinks down [B] in [Em] New Orleans. _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [Bm] Now the only thing a [Em] drunkard may need _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [D] is a suitcase, _ [C] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _
and the only [C] time he's [D]
[Am] satisfied, _ _ _ [C] _ [B] _
_ _ _ Lord, is when [Em] you're on the drive.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [B] Somebody go get [E] my baby sister, [Em] _
_ _ [E] _ [Eb] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [G] tell her to do,
I'd be [C] living to do what I [B] have done.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [D] But shun that house [C] in New [Bm] Orleans, [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [E] they call it [B] the Rising [Em] Sun. _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [B] I'm going back to [E] New Orleans, _ _
[B] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [D] my race [E] is [C] almost won. _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] Yes, _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] I'm [Em] going _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[C] back _ [G] to [Am] spend my _ life _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] [Em] beneath _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ the _ [G] _ [D] rose. _ _
