House of the Rising Sun

Dm  F  G  A#  Dm  A  Dm  A


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

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

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

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


[Interlude]

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