[Verse 1]

      Am   C        D          F/A
There is a house in New Orleans
     Am       C      E   E7
They call the Risin' Sun
         Am       C       D           F/A
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am     E        Am
And God, I know I'm one

[Verse 2]

   Am     C     D     F/A
My mother was a tailor
    Am       C        E    E7
She sewed my new blue jeans
   Am     C     D        F/A
My father was a gamblin' man
Am      E     Am
Down in New Orleans

         Am   C       D       F/A
Now, the only thing a gambler needs
     Am       C     E    E7
Is a suitcase and a truck
        Am   C         D          F/A
And the only time that he's satisfied
   Am        E     Am
Is when he's all a drunk.

Oh, Mother, tell your children
       Am      C      E   E7
Not to do what I have done
Am         C        D          F/A
Spend your lives in sin and misery
       Am           E      Am
In the house of the risin' sun

    Am    C           E    E7
the other foot on the train
    Am    C       D          F/A
I'm goin' back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain
