	Am	C	D	F	Am	C	E
There	is a	house in	New Or-	leans, They	call the	Rising	Sun

	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am
And it's	been the	ruin of	many a po'	girl, And	me, Oh	God, I'm	one.

	C	D	F	C	E
	...	...	...	...

	Am	C	D	F	Am	C	E
My	mother	was a	tailor	, She	sewed my	new blue	jeans

	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am
My	sweetheart	was a	gambler	lord,	down in	New	Orleans.

. . .

	Am	C	D	F	Am	C	E
Now the	only	thing a	gambler	needs, Is a	suitcase	and a	trunk

	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am
And the	only	time he's	satis-	fied, Is	when he's	on a	drunk.

. . .

	Am	C	D	F	Am	C	E
He	fills his	glass up	to the	brim, And he'll	pass the	cards a-	round

	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am
And the	only	pleasure he	gets outa	life, Is	ramblin from	town to	town.

. . .

	Am	C	D	F	Am	C	E
Go	tell my	baby	sister,	, Not to	do what	I have	done

	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am
But to	shun that	house in	New Or-	leans, They	call the	Rising	Sun.

. . .

	Am	C	D	F	Am	C	E
Well it's	one foot	on the	platform,	. . .and the	other foot	on the	train

	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am
I'm	goin'	back to	New Or-	leans, to	wear that	ball and	chain

. . .

	Am	C	D	F	Am	C	E
Well I'm	goin'	back to	New Or-	leans, my	race is	almost	run

	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am
I'm	goin'	back to	end my	life, down	in the	Rising	Sun

. . .

	Am	C	D	F	Am	C	E
There	is a	house in	New Or-	leans, they	call the	Rising	Sun

	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am
And it's	been the	ruin of	many a po'	girl, and	me, Oh	God, I'm	one.

Song was not an Animals Original and they lyrics have been changed almost everytime some one records it or plays it ....I am not sure if the original lyrics were ever put to pen and paper..whiel I do enjoy Eric Burdens version of the song .. I like these lyrics also

jim1658 (report comment to admin):

Where did these lyrics come from? They aren't the ones The Animals used!

Robbo768 (report comment to admin):

like this version it suits a mandolin

nomad7296 (report comment to admin):

This isnt the right chord progression and/or lyrics, the original lyrics were written by the animals and i dont understand why people changed it.
