House of the Rising Sun

[Intro]
G#m  B  C#  E  G#m  D#  G#m  D#


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


[Interlude]
(G#m)  B  C#  E  G#m  D#  G#m  D#


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


[Interlude]
(G#m)  B  C#  E  G#m  D#  G#m  D#


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


[Solo]
(G#m)  B  C#  E  G#m  D#  G#m  D#

G#m  B  C#  E  G#m  D#
G#m  B  C#  E  G#m  D#  G#m  D#


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


[Interlude]
(G#m)  B  C#  E  G#m  D#  G#m  D#


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


[Interlude]
(G#m)  B  C#  E  G#m  D#  G#m  D#


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