[Verse 1]
      Am   C        D          F
There is a house in New Orleans
      Am       C      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 | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
And God, I know, I'm one                (organ plays E7)

   Am     C     D        F
My mother was a tailor (organ: F7) 
    Am       C        E
She sewed my new blue jeans (organ: E7) 
   Am     C     D        F
My father was a gambling man

Down in New Orleans.             (organ plays E7)

        Am   C       D       F
Now the only thing a gambler needs (organ: F7) 
     Am       C     E
Is a suitcase and a trunk (organ: E7) 
        Am   C     D         F
And the only time, he's satisfied, 
   Am        E    | Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
Is when he's on a drunk              (organ plays E7)

Not to do what I have done (organ: E7) 
Am         C        D           F
Spend your lives in sin and misery

I'm going back to New Orleans (organ: F7)
