Am C/G Dsus2/F# F Am E Am
      Am   C/G           Dsus2/F#   F      Am       C/G    E
There is a house down in New Orleans, they call the risin' sun
         Am       C/G     Dsus2/F#    F       Am    E        Am
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl, and me oh, God I'm one
C/G Dsus2/F# F Am E
   Am     C/G   Dsus2/F# F     Am          C/G        E
My mother was a tailor,    she sewed these new blue jeans
   Am         C/G   Dsus2/F#    F   Am   E        Am
My sweetheart was a gambler Lord, down in New Orleans
C/G Dsus2/F# F Am E
        Am   C/G     Dsus2/F#     F      Am       C/G   E
Now the only thing a gambler needs, is a suitcase and a trunk
        Am   C/G       Dsus2/F# F    Am       E     Am
And the only time he's satisfied, is when he's on a drunk
C/G Dsus2/F# F Am E
   Am        C/G        Dsus2/F#   F           Am       C/G         E
He fills his glasses up to the brim, and he'll pass the cards around
        Am   C/G          Dsus2/F#    F       Am           E            Am
And the only pleasure he gets out of life, is rambling from town to town
C/G Dsus2/F# F Am E
   Am      C/G  Dsus2/F# F        Am      C/G    E
Oh tell my baby sister,    not to do what I have done
    Am        C/G      Dsus2/F# F        Am       E      Am
But shun that house in New Orleans, they call the rising sun
C/G Dsus2/F# F Am E
          Am       C/G    Dsus2/F# F         Am         C/G    E
Well it's one foot on the platform,  and the other foot on the train
    Am    C/G     Dsus2/F#  F     Am        E        Am
I'm going back to New Orleans, to wear that ball and chain
C/G Dsus2/F# F Am E
    Am    C/G     Dsus2/F#  F     Am      C/G    E
I'm going back to New Orleans, my race is almost run
    Am    C/G     Dsus2/F#   F  Am         E      Am
I'm going back to end my life, down in the rising sun
C/G Dsus2/F# F Am E
      Am   C/G      Dsus2/F# F        Am       C/G    E
There is a house in New Orleans, they call the risin' sun
         Am       C/G     Dsus2/F#      F       Am    E        Am
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl, and me Oh, God I'm one
C/G Dsus2/F# F Am E Am
