House of the Rising Sun

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 And God, I know I'm one. Am C D F My mother was a tailor, Am C E7 She sewed my new blue jeans, Am C D F My father was a gamblin' man Am E7 Am Down in New Orleans. Am C D F Now the only thing a gambler needs Am C E7 Is a suitcase and a trunk, Am C D F And the only time he's satisfied Am E7 Am Is when he's on a drunk. Am C D F Well, I've 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 To wear that ball and chain.
