House of the rising sun

Animals

 EmGAC
There is a house in New Orleans they 
 EmGB7
 call the Rising Sun and its
 EmGAC
 been the ruin of many poor girl, and
 EmBEmGAC
 me, oh God, for one.         

 EmGAC
If I had listened to what my mother said,
 EmGB7
I'd have been at home today,
 EmGAC
But I was young and folish, oh God,
 EmBEmGAC
Let a rambler lead me astray.         

 EmGAC
Go tell my baby sister,   
 EmGB7
Don't do what I have done
 EmGAC
But shun that house in New Orleans
 EmBEmGAC
They call the Rising Sun         

 EmGAC
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
 EmGB7
My race is almost run,
 EmGAC
I'm goin' back to spend my life
 EmBEmGACEmBEm
 Beneath that Rising Sun

I agree that the lyrics is not the version sung by The Animals, but technically it is not "wrong" since this text is an older version of the song which was rewritten by The Animals. But it probably shouldn't be labeled with the The Animals as performers. It is more likely that this is a version close to what Nina Simone performed.
