Am         C        D     F
There is a house in New Orleans,
Am            C      E    E
They call the Rising Sun

And God, I know, I'm one

My mother was a tailor

Down in New Orleans

Verse 3

Am      C    D        F
Now the only things a gambler needs
Am   C        E     E
Is a suitcase and a trunk
Am      C    D               F
And the only time he's satisfied
Am E             Am     E
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mothers, tell your children

Spend your life in sin and misery

In the house of the Rising Sun

Verse 5

Am      C    D        F
I've got one foot on the platform
Am   C        E     E
The other foot on the train
Am      C    D               F
I'm going back to New Orleans
Am E             Am         E
To wear the ball and chain
