Chords

Sounds best if you finger pick the whole song

      Am   C        D           F
There is a house in New Orleans
     Am       C      E   E
they call the Risin' Sun
         Am       C       D           F
and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am     E        Am
and God, I know I'm one
 
C  D  F  Am  E  Am  E
 
   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 gamblin' man
Am      E      Am
down in New Orleans
 
C  D  F  Am  E  Am  E
 
         Am   C       D       F
Now, the only thing a gambler needs
     Am       C     E     E
is a suitcase and a trunk
        Am   C         D         F
and the only time that he's satisfied
   Am        E    Am
is when he's on a drunk
 
C  D  F  Am  E  Am  E
 
    Am     C          D        F
Oh, Mother, tell your children
       Am      C      E     E
not to do what I have done
Am         C        D          F
spend your lives in sin and misery
       Am           E      Am
in the house of the Risin' Sun
 
C  D  F  Am  E  Am  E
 
Am         C       D               F
Well, I've got one foot on the platform
    Am    C           E     E
the other foot on the train
    Am    C       D           F
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
   Am        E        Am
to wear that ball and chain
 
C  D  F  Am  E  Am  E
 
            Am   C        D           F
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
     Am       C      E  E
they call the Risin' Sun
         Am       C       D           F
and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am     E        Am
and God, I know I'm one
 
C  D  F  Am  E  Am  D  Am  D  Am D - fade out
