INTRO: [same chord progression that runs throughout the song]

Am C D F
Am E Am E
VERSE 1:
--------
Am C D F
There is a house in New Orleans
Am C E
They call the Rising Sun
Am C D F
And it's been the ruin of many-a poor boy
Am E Am C D F Am E Am E
and God, I know, I'm one
VERSE 2: [same as VERSE 1]
--------
My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
down in New Orleans
VERSE 3: [same as VERSE 1]
--------
Now the only thing a gambler needs
is a suitcase and a trunk
and the only time he is satisfied
is when he's all drunk
VERSE 4: [same as VERSE 1]
--------
Oh mother, tell your children
not to do what I have done
spend your lives in sin and misery
in the house of the Rising Sun
VERSE 5: [same as VERSE 1]
--------
Well, I've 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
VERSE 6: [same as VERSE 1]
--------
Well 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
That's it. As for the solos, make up your own. It's real easy,
just use the A Blues scale or A minor scale. If you don't know
them here they are:
A Blues Scale:
E|-------------------------5-8--|
B|---------------------5-8------|
G|---------------5-7-8----------|
D|-----------5-7----------------|
A|-----5-6-7--------------------|
E|-5-8--------------------------|
A Minor Scale:
E|-----------------------------5--|
B|-----------------------5-6-8----|
G|-----------------4-5-7----------|
D|-------------5-7----------------|
A|-------5-7-8--------------------|
E|-5-7-8--------------------------|
Just use the notes from those two scales and solo like mad!
