Chords
pin

Intro:
   Am           C            D             F
   Am           E            Am           E


1st verse/chorus :
      Am   C        D          F
There is a house in New Orleans
     Am       C      E    E
They call the Rising Sun
         Am       C       D               F
And It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am     E         Am    C   
And God, I know, I'm one

[D][F][Am][E][Am][E]



2nd verse/chorus :
   Am     C     D      F
My mother was a tailor
    Am       C        E       E
She sewed my new blue jeans
   Am     C     D        F
My father was a gambling man
Am      E     Am    C
Down in New Orleans

[D][F][Am][E][Am][E]


3rd verse/chorus :
        Am   C        D       F
And 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      C 
Is when he's all a-drunk

   Am      C            D       F
So mothers, tell your children
       Am      C      E     E
Not to do what I have done
 Am        C       D            F
Spend your life in sin and misery
       Am           E      Am      C 
In the house of the Rising Sun

[D][F][Am][E][Am][E]




5th verse/chorus :
     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      C 
To wear the ball and chain

[D][F][Am][E][Am][E]

They call the Rising Sun
         Am       C       D               F
And It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am     E         Am    C   
And God, I know, I'm one

    E7 is the correct chord instead of E but aside from that nice job
