House Of The Rising Sun v2

 

 

[Verse 1]

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the "Rising Sun"

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know, I'm one (organ plays E7)

 

 

[Verse 2]

My mother was a tailor (organ: F7)

She sewed my new blue jeans (organ: E7)

My father was a gambling man

Down in New Orleans. (organ plays E7)

 

 

[Verse 3]

Now the only thing a gambler needs (organ: F7)

Is a suitcase and a trunk (organ: E7)

And the only time, he's satisfied,

Is when he's on a drunk (organ plays E7)

 

 

[Organ Solo]

 

 

[Verse 4]

Oh, mother, tell your children (organ: F7)

Not to do what I have done (organ: E7)

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the House of the Rising Sun (organ plays E7)

 

 

[Verse 5]

Well, I got one foot on the platform (organ plays F7)

The other foot on the train (organ: E7)

I'm going back to New Orleans (organ: F7)

To wear that ball and chain (organ plays E7#9)

 

 

[Verse 6]

Well, there is a house in New Orleans (organ: F7)

They call the "Rising Sun" (organ: E7)

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know, I'm one
