Chords for Odetta Live in concert 2005, "House of the Rising Sun"

_ _ _ There _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] is a house _ [C] _
_ in [Eb] New Orleans, [A] _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ the cold _ [D] _
rising sun, _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Bb] spinning in the ruin.
_ [C] _
Many [Eb] poor girls _ _ [Gm] look at me, [D] _ _ the [Gm] only one.
_ _ [D] If _ [Gm] _ _
[Bb] I had listened [C] to what my mama [Eb] said, _ _ [Gm] _ I'd have been [F] at home _ [D] _ today. _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Bb] Being young, _ _ [C] being [Eb] foolish, _
_ _ [Gm] _ I let my [D] gambling _ lead [Gm] me astray. _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Gm] _ My [Bb] mama, _ _
_ [C] _ she's a tailor.
[Eb] _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Gm] _ She [C] sewed your blue jeans [D] when they were new.
_ _ [Gm] _
My sweetheart [Bb] _ is [C] a drunkard, _ [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Gm]
drinking down [D] _ New _ [Gm]
Orleans.
_ _ _ _ When I was [G] a young girl, [Gm] _ _
[B] I used to seek pleasure. _ _
_ When I _ was a young girl, _ _ _ I used to drink _ ale. _ _ _ _
Out of an ale house into this jail house, _ _ _ _ _ _ my body is ruined. _
_ They _ left me here to die. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Sixteen pretty _ maidens _ to carry my coffin.
_ _ _ _ _ Sixteen pretty _ maidens _ to sing me a song.
_ _ _ _ Put bunches of roses over my coffin. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Go
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
tell _ _ [Bb] _ _ my [C]
baby sister, _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ don't [Bb] do what I [D] have done.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Bb] Shun that house, _ [C] _ _
[Eb] New Orleans, _ _ [Gm] the cold [D] _ _ _ [Gm] rising sun. _ _ _ _ _ _
There [Bb] is a house, _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ New _ _ _ _ _ _ Orleans. _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
