Rising Sun Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][D]

[Verse 1]
There [D]is a house down in New Orleans
They [G]call the Rising [D]Sun
And it's been the ruin
of a [G]many poor boy
And [D]me, oh [A]God, I'm [D]one

[Verse 2]
Go [D]tell my youngest brother for me
Not to [G]do the things I've [D]done
But to shun that house
down in [G]New Orleans
They [D]call the [A]Rising [D]Sun

[Solo 1]

[G][G][D][D]
[D][D][G][G]
[D][A][D][D]

[Verse 3]
Oh, well, the [D]only thing that a rounder needs
Is a [G]suitcase or a [D]trunk
And the only time he's [G]satisfied
Is [D]when he's [A]on a [D]drunk

[Verse 4]
So [D]fill up your glasses to the brim
Let the [G]drinks flow merrily [D]'round
And we'll drink to the health
of a [G]rounder poor boy
Who [D]goes from [A]town to [D]town

[Solo 2]
[D][D]
[G][G][D][D]
[D][D][G][G]
[D][A][D][D]

[Verse 5]
Now, [D]boys, don't believe
what a bad girl tells you
Though her [G]eyes be blue or [D]brown
Unless she's on some [G]scaffold high
Sayin', [D]"Boys, I [A]can't come [D]down"

[Solo 3]
[D][D]
[G][G][D][D]
[D][D][G][G]
[D][A][D][D]

[Verse 6]
They'll [D]take me back down to New Orleans
To [G]face the crimes I've [D]done
And they'll tie me to a [G]ball and chain
Un[D]til my [A]race is [D]run
