There is a house in New Orleans
     [Am]        [C]      [E]     [E]
They call the "Rising Sun"
         [Am]       [C]       [D]             [F]
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    [Am]     [E]        | [Am] | [C] | [D] | [F] | [Am] | [E] | [Am] | [E] |
And God, I know, I'm one               (organ plays E7)

Down in New Orleans.            (organ plays E7)

Is a suitcase and a trunk (organ: E7)
        [Am]   [C]      [D]           [F]
And the only time, he's satisfied,
   [Am]        [E]    | [Am] | [C] | [D] | [F] | [Am] | [E] | [Am] | [E] |
Is when he's on a drunk              (organ plays E7)
 

    [Am]     [C]              [D]       [F]
Oh, mother, tell your children (organ: F7)
       [Am]      [C]      [E]     [E]
Not to do what I have done (organ: E7)
[Am]         [C]        [D]            [F]
Spend your lives in sin and misery

Well, I got one foot on the platform (organ plays F7)
    [Am]         [C]        [E]     [E]
The other foot on the train (organ: E7)
    [Am]    [C]       [D]           [F]
I'm going back to New Orleans (organ: F7)
   [Am]        [E]       | [Am] | [C] | [D] | [F] | [Am] | [E] | [Am] | [E] |
