House of the Rising Sun

[Intro]
Fm  G#  A#  C#  Fm  C  Fm  C


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

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

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

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

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