Am/g(a minor with pinky on 3rd fret of big e string)
Am/f# (an a minor (without the g string) with your middle finger on the 2nd fret
big E (not sure if this is how bob does it but it sounds right)
E (just a normal E)
F (bar chord type,unless you cant do a bar chord. the regular is fine)

up... well here goes the song

bam. you got it! hope this tab helped....
My mother was a tailor
She sewed these new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler, lord
Down in new orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time hes satisfied
Is when hes on a drunk
He fills his glasses up to the brim
And hell pass the cards around
And the only pleasure he gets out of life
Is ramblin from town to town
Oh tell my baby sister
Not to do what I have done
But shun that house in new orleans
They call the risin sun
Well, its one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
Im goin back to new orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Im a-goin back to new orleans
My race is almost run
Im goin back to end my life
Down in the risin sun
There is a house in new orleans
They call the risin sun
Its been the ruin of many poor girl
And me, oh god, Im a-one
P.S i know this tab isnt 100 percent right but hey im only thirteen!!! :)
