[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][A][D][G][C]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
There [G]is
a house down in New Or[C]leans
[G]That they call the Rising [D]Sun[A][D]
An[G]d it's been the ruin of m[C]any
a poor, poor, [G]poor boy
And God, [D]I know, I [G]know I'm [C]one[G]
Hey, my mother, Lord,
my mother was a tailor
[C]Yes, [G]she was, and she sewed
my old [D]blue [A]jeans[D]
And my [G]daddy, Lord,
he was just a [C]ramblin' [G]gamblin' man
Way down in [D]New [G]Orleans
[C]Now[G] the only life that
a [C]gambler ever [G]knows
Is a suitcase of blood and a [D]gun[A][D]
And the [G]only time that [C]he feels at [G]ease
Hey, that's when [D]he's [C]on a dru[G]nk,
oh [C]yeah

[Verse 2]
I've got [G]one foot, Lord, on the [C]platform
Yes, I [G]do
And the [Em]other [A]foot's on [D]a train[A][D]
And they're [G]taking me
way back down to [C]Paris
To [Dsus4]Orleans j[G]ust to w[Em]ear the
[D]ball and the cha[G]in[C][G]
[D]So [G]mother, hey all you mothers,
tell [C]your children
and [Dsus4]tell them [G]true, not to [Em]do.
[A]Don't do the things [D]I've [A]done.[D]
[C]Don't spe[G]nd your life in
[C]ruin and misery
[Dsus4]In the ho[G]use of [Em]the rising[G][D]
The house of the rising [G]sun
Oh, [C]no, no, no
