There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
[Ab] And it's been the ruin of many [Bb] a poor boy
And God, [Eb] I know
[Ab]
[B] My mother was a [Db] [E] tailor
[Abm] Sold my new [Eb] blue jeans
[Abm]
Daddy was [Db] a [E] gamblin' [Eb] [Abm] [Eb] [Ab]
butcher
[Abm] All the way in the park
[Ab]
[Abm]
[Eb] The [Abm] one and only thing
[Db] A gambler ever [E] has
[Abm] Is a suitcase and a [Eb] drum
[Abm] The one and only time
[Db] A gambler's [E] satisfied
Is [Abm]
when [Eb] he's on the [Abm] drug
So now, mothers, tell [Db] your children
[E] [Eb] [Abm] Not to do what [Eb] I've done
[Abm]
Spend your life [Db] in fear and [E] misery
In [Abm] the house of the [Eb] Rising [Abm] Sun
I've got one foot on [Db] the [E] platform
[Abm] The other's on the [Eb] train
[Abm]
I'm going back to [Db] New [E] Orleans
[Abm] To play [Eb] them all [Abm] a [Eb] game
[Abm] There is a house [Db] in New [E] Orleans

[Eb] And [Abm] it's been the ruin [Db] of [E] many a poor boy
[Abm] And God, I [Eb] know
[Abm] And God, I [Eb] know
[Abm] In the house of [Eb] the Rising [Abm] Sun
