House of the Rising Sun
[G] [Bb] [C] [D#] [G] [D] [G] [D]
[G]There is a [Bb]house, in New [C]Orleans,[D#] [G]
They call the [Bb]Rising Sun,[D]
And itâ??s bee[G]n the ruin o[Bb]f many a b[C]oy,[D#] [G]
Lord knows I was [D]one.[G] [D]
[G]My Father was a[Bb] gambler, [C] [D#] [G]
He liv[Bb]ed by the gun,[D]
He swo[G]re someday heâ??d [Bb]take me to [C]the play, [D#]
At the Hous[G]e of the Rising Sun.[D] [G] [D]
[G]My mother was a [Bb]lady,[C] [D#] [G]
She ne[Bb]ver hurt no one,[D] [G]
She cursed the day,[Bb] [C]
I went to play [D#]in the House of[G] the Rising Sun.[D] [G] [D]
[G]She said, â[Bb]?? youâ??re like your daddy b[C]oy,[D#] [G]
Livinâ[Bb]?? on the run[D],[G]
Someday[Bb] youâ??ll draw a dead manâ??s[C] hand,[D#]
In the Hou[G]se of the Rising Su[D]n.[G] [D]
G Bb C D# G Bb D, G Bb C D# G D G D (X2)
[G]So listen all[Bb] you gamb[C]lers,[D#] [G]
Donâ??t do[Bb] what I have done,[D]
[G]Youâ??ll lose the thin[Bb]gs that you love the mo[C]st,[D#]
In the Hou[G]se of the Rising Su[D]n.[G] [D]
[G]There is a hou[Bb]se in New Or[C]leans,[D#] [G]
They call the Rising [Bb]Sun,[D]
And itâ??s be[G]en the luck o[Bb]f many poor boys,[C] [D#] [G]
And I guess th[D]at I was one.[G] [D]
