[Intro]
F#m  A  B  D  F#m  C#  F#m  C#


[Chorus]
F#m         A        B            D
There is a house in New Orleans,
     F#m       A      C#    C#
They call the Rising Sun
         F#m       A       B           D
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    F#m     C#         F#m
And God, I know, I'm one


[Interlude]
(F#m)  A  B  D  F#m  C#  F#m  C#


[Verse]
   F#m     A     B       D
My mother was a tailor
    F#m       A        C#     C#
She sewed my new blue jeans
   F#m     A     B        D
My father was a gambling man
F#m      C#     F#m
Down in New Orleans


[Interlude]
(F#m)  A  B  D  F#m  C#  F#m  C#


[Verse]
        F#m   A        B       D
And the only things a gambler needs
     F#m       A     C#      C#
Is a suitcase and a trunk
        F#m   A    B         D
And the only time he's satisfied
   F#m        C#     F#m
Is when he's all a-drunk


[Solo]
(F#m)  A  B  D  F#m  C#  F#m  C#

F#m  A  B  D  F#m  C#
F#m  A  B  D  F#m  C#  F#m  C#


[Verse]
   F#m      A              B     D
Oh mothers, tell your children
       F#m      A      C#     C#
Not to do what I have done
 F#m        A       B           D
Spend your life in sin and misery
       F#m           C#      F#m
In the house of the Rising Sun


[Interlude]
(F#m)  A  B  D  F#m  C#  F#m  C#


[Verse]
         F#m       A      B        D
I've got one foot on the platform
    F#m         A      C#      C#
The other foot on the train
    F#m    A       B           D
I'm going back to New Orleans
    F#m      C#        F#m
To wear the ball and chain


[Interlude]
(F#m)  A  B  D  F#m  C#  F#m  C#


[Chorus]
      F#m   A        B     D
There is a house in New Orleans,
     F#m       A      C#    C#
They call the Rising Sun
         F#m       A       B           D
And It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    F#m     C#         F#m
And God, I know, I'm one


[Interlude]
(F#m)  A  B  D  F#m  C#
