  -4     -4    5    -5     -6    6    -4    -5     -8     -8     -8     7 -6 6    -6

There is  a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun.

 

 -8     -8     -8     -6    7 7    -6    6 -4  -4    5     -5    -4    -4    -4   -4b    -5    -4

And it's been the ruin of many  a poor boy and God, I know I'm one.

 

 

 

-8 -8b -8  -6  7  -6  6 -4 -4b -5  -4  -4  -4 -4b  -5 -4 (-4 -4b -4)

 

My mother was a tailor, she sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man down in New Orleans

 

 

 

-8 -8b -8  -6  7  -6  6 -4 -4b -5  -4  -4  -4 -4b  -5 -4 (-4 -4b -4)

 

 

Now the only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he’s satisfied, is when he's down and drunk.

 

 

 

-8 -8b -8  -6  7  -6  6 -4 -4b -5  -4  -4  -4 -4b  -5 -4 (-4 -4b -4)

 

Oh mothers tell, tell your children not to do what I have done.
Spend your lives in sin and misery,
in the house of the rising sun.

 

 

 

-8 -8b -8  -6  7  -6  6 -4 -4b -5  -4  -4  -4 -4b  -5 -4 (-4 -4b -4)

 

I've got one foot on the platform. The oth'r foot on the train.
I'm goin' now to New Orleans, to wear that ball and chain.

 

 

 

-8 -8b -8  -6  7  -6  6 -4 -4b -5  -4  -4  -4 -4b  -5 -4 (-4 -4b -4)

 

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.
