Song: House of the Rising Sun
By:   The Animals

 
[intro:] | Am | C | D  | F |
         | Am | E | Am | E |
 
[verse: 1]
      Am    C        D           F
There is a house in New Orleans
      Am       C      E
They call the Rising Sun
         Am        C       D           F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am      E      | Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
And God, I know, I'm one                
 
 
[verse: 2]
    Am     C     D      F
My mother was a tailor  
     Am       C        E
She sewed my new blue jeans  
    Am     C      D       F
My father was a gambling man
Am      E     | Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
Down in New Orleans         

 
[verse: 3]
        Am    C        D       F
Now the only thing a gambler needs  
       Am      C     E
Is a suitcase and a trunk  
         Am   C     D       F
And the only time, he's satisfied 
    Am       E   | Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
Is when he's on a drunk         
 
 
[solo: keyboard]
        | Am | C | D | F |
        | Am | C | E |   |
        | Am | C | D | F |
        | Am | E |
        | Am | C | D  | F |
        | Am | E | Am | E |
 
 
[verse: 4]
     Am      C           D      F
Oh, mother, tell your children
       Am      C       E
Not to do what I have done
 Am         C        D        F
Spend your lives in sin and misery
        Am       E   | Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
In the House of Rising Sun       
 
 
[verse: 5]
            Am       C         D      F
Well, I got one foot on the platform
     Am         C      E
The other foot on the train  
     Am    C       D     F
I'm going back to New Orleans 
   Am         E      | Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
To wear that ball and chain             
 
 
[verse: 6]
            Am    C        D    F
Well, there is a house in New Orleans 
      Am        C     E
They call the Rising Sun 
         Am        C       D           F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am     E7      | Am | C | D | F7 | Am | E7 |
And God, I know, I'm one
