House Of The Rising Sun chords

[INTRO]
[D]

[VERSE 1]
[D]There is a house in New Orleans
[D]You call the Rising Sun
[D]It's been the ruin of m[G]any a poor soul
And[D] me, oh [A]God, I'm[D] one

[VERSE 2]
[D]If I'd listened to what mama [G]said
I'd[D] be at [A]home to[D]day
[D]Being so young and foolish, poor girl
I let a [A]gambler lead me a[D]stray

[VERSE 3]
[D]My mother she's a [G]tailor
[D]Sews those new blue jeans
[D]My sweetheart, he's a [G]drunkard, Lord God
He drinks [D]down in [A]New Or[D]leans

[VERSE 4]
[D]He fills his glasses [G]to the brim
[D]Passes [A]them a[D]round
[D]The only pleasure that he [G]gets out of [D]life
Is [A]a-hoboin' from town to [D]town

[VERSE 5]
[D]The only thing a drun[G]kard needs
Is a [D]suitcase [A]and a [D]trunk
[D]The only time that he's [G]half satisfied
Is[D] when he's [A]on a [D]drunk

[VERSE 6]
[D]Go and tell my baby [G]sister
Never [D]do like [A]I have [D]done
[D]Shun that house down in [A]New Orl[D]eans
That they [A]call that Rising [D]Sun

[VERSE 7]
[D]It's one foot on the [G]platform
[D]One foot [A]on the [D]train
[D]I'm going back down to [G]New Orleans
To [D]wear my [A]ball and my [D]chain

[VERSE 8]
[D]My life is [G]almost over
My [D]race is [A]almost [D]run
[D]Going back down to [G]New Orleans
To that [D]house of the [A]Rising [D]Sun
