House of the Rising Sun
GBCDGDGDGBbCG#
There is a house, in New Orleans,
BbD
They call the Rising Sun,
GBbCG#
And it??s been the ruin of many a boy,
DD
Lord knows I was one.
GBbG#
My Father was a gambler,
BbD
He lived by the gun,
GBbCD#
He swore someday he??d take me to the play,
GD
At the House of the Rising Sun.
GBbG#
My mother was a lady,
BbG
She never hurt no one,
Cb
She cursed the day,
D#GD
I went to play in the House of the Rising Sun.
GBbCG#
She said, ?? you??re like your daddy boy,
BbDG
Livin?? on the run,
BbCD#
Someday you??ll draw a dead man??s hand,
GDD
In the House of the Rising Sun.

So listen all you gamblers,
BbD
Don??t do what I have done,
GBbCD#
You??ll lose the things that you love the most,
GDD
In the House of the Rising Sun.
GBbCG#
There is a house in New Orleans,
BbD
They call the Rising Sun,
GBbG#
And it??s been the luck of many poor boys,
DD
And I guess that I was one.
