HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
The Animals

      Am   C        D     F          Am       C      E
There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun

and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy and God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor, sewed my new blue jeans,
my father was a gambling man down in New Orleans.


Now the only thing a gambler needs
is his suitcase and a trunk
and the only time he's ever satisfied 
is when he's stoned drunk

Oh mothers, tell your children not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery in the house of the Rising Sun

I got one foot on the platform the other foot on the train,
I'm going back to New Orleans,
to wear that ball and chain.

Repeat first verse
