House of the Rising Sun

[Intro]
Gm  A#  C  D#  Gm  D  Gm  D


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

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


[Interlude]
(Gm)  A#  C  D#  Gm  D  Gm  D


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

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


[Interlude]
(Gm)  A#  C  D#  Gm  D  Gm  D


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