House of the rising sun The Animals

There [Em]is a [G]house in [A]New [C]Orleans they

[Em]call the [G]Rising [D]Sun

And its [Em]been the [G]ruin of [A]many poor [C]girl, and

[Em]me, oh [D]God, for [Em]one. [G] [A] [C]

If [Em]I had [G]listened to what [A]my mother [C]said,

I'd have [Em]been at [G]home to[D]day,

But [Em]I was [G]young and [A]folish, oh [C]God,

Let a [Em]rambler [D]lead me [Em]astray. [G] [A] [C]

Go [Em]tell my [G]baby [A]sister, [C]

Don't [Em]do what [G]I have [B7]done

But [Em]shun that [G]house in [A]New Orl[C]eans

They [Em]call the [D]Rising [Em]Sun [G] [A] [C]

I'm [Em]goin' [G]back to [A]New Or[C]leans

My [Em]race is [G]almost [D]run,

I'm [Em]goin' [G]back to [A]spend my [C]life

[Em]Beneath that [D]Rising [Em]Sun [G] [A] [C] [Em] [D] [Em]

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.
