(Intro) DFADADA7 (Verse 1) Dm F A7 Dm There is a house in New Orleans, Bb D7 A7 They call the Rising Sun. Dm F A7 Dm And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl, Bdim A7 Dm A7 And me, oh God, for one. (Verse 2) Dm F A7 Dm If I had listened to what my mother said, Bb D7 A7 I'd have been at home today, Bb D7 A7 Dm But I was young and foolish, oh, God, Bdim A7 Dm A7 Let a rambler lead me astray. (Verse 3) Dm F A7 Dm Go tell my baby sister, Bb D7 A7 Don't do what I have done, Dm F A7 Dm But shun the house in New Orleans, Bdim A7 Dm A7 They call the Rising Sun. (Verse 4) Dm F A7 Dm I'm going back to New Orleans, Bb D7 A7 My race is almost run, Dm F A7 Dm I'm going back to spend my life Bdim A7 Dm Beneath that Rising Sun.
