[Am]
There is [C] a house down [D] in New [F] Orleans They [Am] call [C] the Rising [E] Sun
And [Am] it's been the [C] ruin
[D] for many, [F] poor boy [Am] and me, [E] oh God
[D] I'm one, [Am] my mother [C] was [D] a tailor She [F]
[Am] [C] sewed these old [E] blue jeans
[Am] My father [C] was [D] a gambler locked [F]
[Am] down [E] in New
[D] Orleans
The
[Am] only [C] thing [G] a [D] gambler needs [F]
[Am] is his suitcase [E] and his trunk
[Am] And the [C] only time [D] he's ever [F] satisfied is [Am] when [E] he's on [D] a drunk
Go
[Am] tell my [C]
baby [D] sister [F]
not [Am] to do [C] the things [E] I've done
[Am] But show them [C] that house [D] down in New [F] Orleans That [Am] they call [E] the Rising [D] Sun
There [Am] is a [C] house down in New [F] Orleans That [Am] they call [C] the Rising [E]
Sun
And it's been [C] the ruin for [Dm]
many, [F] [Am] poor boy and me, oh [E] God
[D] I'm one, [Dm] I'm one
