House Of The Rising Sun Tab

by Animals


All the other chords here were wrong so this is what I believe to be correct. For 
the tab, just play the chords in arpeggios with the G as a barre chord.

There is a house in New Orleans
                   
They call the Rising Sun
                                       
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
                     
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
                    
She sewed my new bluejeans
                       
My father was a gamblin' man 
                 
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs 
                   
Is a suitcase and trunk 
                      
And the only time he's satisfied 
                    
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
                    
Not to do what I have done 
                      
Spend your lives in sin and misery 
                             
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform 
                   
The other foot on the train
                      
I'm goin' back to New Orleans 
                  
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy 
                     
And God I know I'm one
