House of the Rising Sun

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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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