House Of The Rising Sun chords
The Animals *
Am C D F Am E7 Am E7
Am C D F
There is a house in New Orleans
Am C E7
They call the Rising Sun
Am C D F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Am E7 Am C D F Am E7 Am E7
And God I know I'm one
Am C D F
My mother was a tailor
Am C E7
She sewed my new bluejeans
Am C D F
My father was a gamblin' man
Am E7 Am C D F Am E7 Am E7
Down in New Orleans
Am C D F
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Am C E7
Is a suitcase and trunk
Am C D F
And the only time he's satisfied
Am E7 Am C D F Am E7 Am E7
Is when he's on a drunk
Am C D F
Oh mother tell your children
Am C E7
Not to do what I have done
Am C D F
Spend your lives in sin and misery
Am E7 Am C D F Am E7 Am E7
In the House of the Rising Sun
Am C D F
Well, I got one foot on the platform
Am C E7
The other foot on the train
Am C D F
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
Am E7 Am C D F Am E7 Am E7
To wear that ball and chain
Am C D F
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
Am C E7
They call the Rising Sun
Am C D F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Am E7 Am C D F Am E7 Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am9
And God I know I'm one
