House of the Rising Sun
The Animals
Intro: | Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
Am C D F Am C E
There is a house in New Orleans, they call the rising sun
Am C D F Am E Am C D F Am E Am E
And it's been the ruin of many young, poor boys and God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor, she sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he is satisfied is when he's on a drunk
Solo: | Am | C | D | F | Am | C | E | E |
| Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
Am C D F Am C E
Oh, mother, tell your children not to do what I have done
Am C D F Am E Am C D F Am E Am E
Spend your lives in sin and misery in the house of the rising sun
Well I got one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain
There is a house in New Orleans they call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many young, poor boys and God, I know I'm one.
