      Am   C        D           F     Am       C      E
There is a house in New Orleans, they call the rising sun
         Am       C       D                F        Am     E        Am  C  D  F  Am  E  Am  E
And it's been the ruin of many young, poor boys and God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor, she sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he is satisfied is when he's on a drunk

    Am     C          D       F       Am      C      E
Oh, mother, tell your children not to do what I have done
Am         C        D           F         Am           E      Am  C  D  F  Am  E  Am  E
Spend your lives in sin and misery in the house of the rising sun

Well I got one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain

There is a house in New Orleans they call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many young, poor boys and God, I know I'm one.
