House of the rising sun – The Animals
 
 Am  G  D  F
There is a house in New Orleans they 
Am  C  E 
call the Rising Sun  and its
 Am  G  D  F
been the ruin of many poor girl, 
Am    E  Am  E
and, oh God, I know I’m one.
 
My mother she was a Taylor
Who sowed my new blue jeans
My father he was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans
 
And mother go tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Don’t spend your life in sin and misery
In the House of the rising sun
 
[music break w/ leads]
[music break with Keyboards]
 
I’m goin’ back down to New Orleans
To where that race is run
I’m going back down to where it began
To wear my ball and chain
 
There is a house in New Orleans they 
Call the Rising Sun  and its
Been the ruin of many poor girl, 
And, oh God, I know I’m one.
