House of the Rising Sun

by The Animals









There [Am] is a [C] house in [D] New [F] Orleans they
[Am] call the [C] Rising [E] Sun
And its [Am] been the [C] ruin of [D] many a poor [F] boy, and
[Am] God, I [E] know, I'm [Am] one.
[C] [D] [F] [Am] [E] [Am] [E]

My [Am] mother, [C] was a [D] tailor [F]
She [Am] sewed my [C] new blue [E] jeans
My [Am] father [C] was a [D] gambling [F] man
[Am] Down in [E] New [Am] Orleans
[C] [D] [F] [Am] [E] [Am] [E]

Now [Am] mothers, [C] tell your [D] children [F]
Not to [Am] do what [C] I have [E] done
Don't [Am] spend your [C] life in [D] sweet [F] misery
in the [Am] house of the [E] rising [Am] sun
[C] [D] [F] [Am] [E] [Am] [E] [Am]
