Am    C    D    F   Am    C    E    E7

   Am         C        D     F
(1)there is a house in new orleans
(2)my mother was a tailor
(3)and the only things a gambler needs
(4)ive got one foot on the platform
(5)so mothers tell your children

Am            C      E    E7
they call the rising sun
she sewed my new blue jeans
is a suitcase and a trunk
the other foot on the train
not to do what I have done

Am            C       D           F
and It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
my father was a gambling man
and the only time hes satisfied
im going back to new orleans
spend your life in sin and misery

Am         E         Am
and God i know im one
down in new orleans
is when hes all drunk
to wear the ball and chain
in the house of the rising sun

C    D    F    Am    E    Am    E7
