[Bm][G][D][F#][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]There is a [G]house in [D]New Orleans
[F#]They call the Rising [G]Sun
And [Bm]it's been the [G]ruin
of many [D]poor soul
[F#]And, Lord, my father[D]'s [G]one
My [F#]mother, she's a [E]tailor

[Verse 2]
She sews those [G]new blue [D]jeans
To [Bm]keep my [G]gambling [D]father drunk
Deep [F#]down in New Orleans
[G]It's

[Verse 3]
a happy happy [F#]happy
happy [D]fun day [G]day[D]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]Like a bird [G]flying over [D]forest fire
[F#]My father feels the [D]heat be
[F#]neath his [G]wings
[Bm]And in debt h[G]e leaves f[D]or another
town
[F#]Where he gambles and,
[D]drunk, he still [G]drinks
My [F#]mother hides

[Verse 5]
[E]from pleasure
And thinks of Father [G]on her [D]knees
[Bm]Lifted [G]in the [D]arms of God
[F#]Away from New Or[G]leans
Happy happy [F#]happy happy

[Verse 6]
[D]fun day [G]day
Happy happy [F#]happy happy [D]fun day [G]day[D]
