Verse 1
(D major) There is (G minor) a house (F sharp major) down
(D major) in New Or (G minor) leans
They call the rising sun (D minor) ,
(D major) it's (G minor) been the ruin of (D major) many poor boys.
(G minor) And me, great (D major) God, I'm (G minor) one
(D major) Yeah, my mother (G minor) ,
well, she's a (D major) tailor
She (G minor) sews them new blue jeans, (D major) oh yeah
My (G minor) love, well, she's a,
she's (C major) a hooker, Lord.
Work (D major) s down in New Or (G minor) leans. (D major)
And if (G minor) I had listened to
(D major) what my mama (G minor) said
Lord, I'd have been at my home today,
(D major) oh yeah
But (G minor) be ing such a young
and such (C major) a foolish boy
Let (D major) a gambler lead me astray (G minor) (D major)
So go (G minor) tell my baby (D major) brother
Not (G minor) to do as I have done, (D major) oh no
But (G minor) shun that house in (C major) (G minor) New Orleans
They call the (D major) rising sun (G minor) (G major)
(D major) It's (G minor) one foot on that (D major) platform
And the (G minor) other on the train (D major)
I'm (G minor) going back to (G major) New Orleans
(G minor) to (G major) (D major) wear my ball and (G major) chain. (G minor)
