The Rising Sun Blues Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - Clarence Tom Ashley And Gwin Foster

INTRO: [E] [B] [E]

#1.
[E]They are a house in New Orleans they [A]call [E]the [C]Rising [E]Sun.
Where [A]many poor [Am]boys to [E]destruction has gone, and [B]me, oh,
God, for [E]one. [E] [B] [E]

#2.
[E]Just fill the glass up to the brim, let the [A]drinks go [C]merrily
a[E]round.
We?ll [A]drink [C]to the [E]life of a rounder, poor boy, who [B]goes from
town to [E]town. [E] [B] [E]

#3.
All in [Em]this world [E]does a [A]rambler [E]want, is a [A]suitcase [C]and [B]a [E]trunk.
The [A]only [Am]time he?s [E]satisfied, is [B]when he?s on a [E]drunk.[E] [B] [E]

#4.
[E]Now, boys don?t believe what a [A]young girl tells [E]you, let her [A]eyes
be blue or [E]brown.
[A]Unless she?s [C]on some [A]scaf[E]fold high, saying, '[B]Boys, I can?t come
d[E]own.'[E] [B] [E] [Dbm] [E]

#5.
[E]I?m going back, [Em]back [E]to [A]New [E]Orleans, for my [A]race is [C]al[B]most [E]run..
to [A]spend [D]the [Dbm]rest of my [E]wicked life, be[B]neath the Rising [E]Sun.
