[Verse]
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
There is a house in New Orleans
[Am] [C] [E7]
they call the Rising Sun
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
It's been the ruin of many a poor girl
[Am] [E] [Am] [E7]
and me, O God, for one
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
If I had listened what Mama said,
[Am] [C] [E7]
I'd be at home today
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
Being so young and foolish, poor boy,
[Am] [E] [Am] [E7]
let a rambler lead me astray
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
Go tell my baby sister,
[Am] [C] [E7]
never do like I have done
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
To shun that house in New Orleans
[Am] [E] [Am] [E7]
they call the Rising Sun
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
My mother, she's a tailor,
[Am] [C] [E7]
she sewed these new blue jeans
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
My sweetheart, he's a drunkard, Lord, Lord,
[Am] [E] [Am] [E7]
drinks down in New Orleans
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
The only thing a drunkard needs
[Am] [C] [E7]
is a suitcase and a trunk
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
The only time he's satisfied
[Am] [E] [Am] [E7]
is when he's on a drunk
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
Fills his glasses to the brim,
[Am] [C] [E7]
passes them around
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
Only pleasure he gets out of life
[Am] [E] [Am] [E7]
is hoboin' from town to town
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
One foot is on the platform
[Am] [C] [E7]
and the other one on the train
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
I'm going back to New Orleans
[Am] [E] [Am] [E7]
to wear that ball and chain
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
Going back to New Orleans,
[Am] [C] [E7]
my race is almost run
[Am] [C] [D] [F]
Going back to spend the rest of my days
[Am] [E] [Am] [E7]
beneath that Rising Sun
