The House Of The Rising Sun Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Fm]Ther[G]e is[Fm] a house in New Orleans[G]
[Fm]They[E] call [Fm]the Rising Sun
It has been the [G]ruin [Am]of many,
poor [Fm]girl [G]and me, O Lord, [Fm]for one.
If I had listened what Mama said,
I'd have been at home [Am]today.
[Fm]But been so youn[Am]g and fool[Fm]ish, Lord,
I let [G]a gambler lead [Am]me as[Fm]tray[E][Fm]
My mother [E]is a [Am]tailor,[G]
[Fm]she sews those new b[Am]lue jeans
[Fm]My sweetheart is a[Am] gamblin' man,
[Fm]drinks down [G]in New Orleans[E].
Well, the [Fm]only [Am]thing a gambler need[E]s
is [Fm]a suitcase an[Am] d a tr[Fm]unk.
And the only time [Am]he's satisfied
[Fm]is w[G]hen he's all drunk[Fm]
He will fill [E]those [Fm]glasses to [Am]the brim
[Fm]and he passes them around
And the only pleas[Em]ure he g[Am]ets out of life
[F]is [G]a ho -born from town to [Fm]town.[E]
So tell [Fm]my baby sist[G]er,
[Am]don't [Fm]do what I have done,
But shun that [Am]house in New Orleans
[G]they call the rising [Fm]sun
[E]Oh, I'm going [Fm]back [Am]to New Orleans
[Em]My l[Fm]ife is almost r[Am]un[Fm]
[Em]I'm going [Em]back t[Am]o
spend my days
[G]Beneath the rising [Am]sun[Fm]
