House of the rising sun  The Animals


[Am] [C] [D] [F] [Am] [E7] [Am] [E7] 

There [Am]is a h[C]ouse in [D]New Orleans[F]
They [Am]call the [C]Rising [E7]Sun and its
[Am]been the [C]ruin of [D]many-a-poor [F]boy and
[Am]God, I k[E7]now I'm [Am]one.       [C] [D] [F] [Am] [E7] [Am] [E7]
My [Am]mother [C]was a [D]tailor...[F]

My [Am]father [C]was a [D]gamblin [F]man
..[Am]down in [E7]New Or[Am]leans..    [C] [D] [F] [Am] [E7] [Am] [E7]
Now the [Am]only [C]thing a [D]gambler [F]needs
Is a [Am]suitcase [C]and a [E7]trunk
And the [Am]only [C]time he is [D]satis[F]fied
Is [Am]when he's [E7]all [Am]drunk     [C] [D] [F] [Am] [E7] [Am] [E7]
Oh [Am]mother [C]tell your [D]child[F]ren
Not to [Am]do what [C]I have [E7]done

In the [Am]house of the [E7]rising [Am]Sun     [C] [D] [F] [Am] [E7] [Am] [E7]  
Well I've got [Am]one foot [C]on the [D]platform[F]

I'm [Am]going [C]back to [D]New Or[F]leans
to [Am]wear that [E7]ball and [Am]chain..     [C] [D] [F] [Am] [E7] [Am] [E7]
Well there [Am]is a [C]house in [D]New Or[F]leans
they [Am]call the [C]Rising [E7]Sun
and it's [Am]been the [C]ruin of [D]many a poor [F]boy
and [Am]God I [E7]know I'm [Am]one     [C] [D] [F] [Am] [E7] [Am] [E7]

I agree completely with Othelia. Excellently worked out chord sequences!!

Drop the D's.... sounds horrid. I tried it a hundred different ways, different strumming and picking, open and barre chords... no dice. Nice work otherwise.

I aggree with K9181. Thats the way I learned it and it sounds great! Keep jammin' all

The D is not in the original. Except for the D, the chords are correct - they are just not in the key that the Animals played it. It is originally played in Am.

Othelia (report)

It's not acctually. These are right. Whatever you're playing must sound reeeeeal weird... Great job on the song by the way ^_^

K1981Cambridge (report)

The chords are: Am, C, D, F, Am, E, Am
