House of the Rising Sun

[Intro]
C#m  E  F#  A  C#m  G#  C#m  G#


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


[Interlude]
(C#m)  E  F#  A  C#m  G#  C#m  G#


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


[Interlude]
(C#m)  E  F#  A  C#m  G#  C#m  G#


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


[Solo]
(C#m)  E  F#  A  C#m  G#  C#m  G#
C#m  E  F#  A  C#m  E  G#  G#
C#m  E  F#  A  C#m  G#
C#m  E  F#  A  C#m  G#  C#m  G#


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


[Interlude]
(C#m)  E  F#  A  C#m  G#  C#m  G#


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


[Interlude]
(C#m)  E  F#  A  C#m  G#  C#m  G#


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


[Interlude]
