Bob Dylan – House Of The Rising Sun

Intro: Am C Dm F Am Em Am  
 
       Am   C             Dm     F 
 There is a house down in New Orleans
      Am       C      Em 
 They call the Risin' Sun 
          Am       C       Dm        F 
 And it's been the ruin of many poor girl 
     Am     Em       Am C Dm F Em   
 And me, oh God, I'm a-one
 
       Am   C    Dm  F  
 My mother was a taylor
      Am       C      Em 
 She sewed these new blue jeans
       Am   C             Dm    F 
 My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord
     Am     Em   Am C Dm F Em   
 Down in New Orleans
 
       Am   C             Dm     F  
 Now the only thing a gambler needs
      Am       C      Em 
 Is a suitcase and a trunk
       Am   C             Dm   F 
 And the only time he's satisfied
     Am     Em       Am C Dm F Em   
 Is when he's on a drunk
 
       Am   C             Dm     F  
 He fills his glasses up to the brim
      Am       C      Em 
 And he'll pace the cards around
       Am   C             Dm     F 
 And the only pleasure he gets out of life
     Am     Em       Am C Dm F Em   
 Is ramblin' from town to town
 
       Am   C    Dm  F  
 Oh tell my baby sister
      Am       C      Em 
 Not to do as I have done
       Am   C             Dm     F 
 But to shun that house in New Orleans
     Am     Em       Am C Dm F Em   
 They call the Risin' Sun
 
       Am   C             Dm     F  
 Well, it's one foot on the platform
      Am       C      Em 
 And the other foot on the train
       Am   C            Dm F 
 I'm goin' back to New Orleans
     Am     Em       Am C Dm F Em   
 To wear that ball and chain
 
       Am   C             Dm  F  
 I'm a-goin' back to New Orleans
      Am       C    Em 
 My race is almost run
       Am   C             Dm F 
 I'm goin' back to end my life
     Am     Em       Am C Dm F Em   
 Down in the Risin' Sun
 
       Am   C             Dm   F  
 There is a house in New Orleans
      Am       C      Em 
 They call the Risin' Sun
       Am   C             Dm     F 
 It's been the ruin of many poor girl
     Am     Em       Am C Dm F Em   
 And me, oh God, Im a-one
