Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
Cm | D# | F  | G# 
Cm | D# | G7 | Cm 
D# | F  | G# | Cm 
G7 | Cm 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Cm                D#          F
  There is a house down in New Orleans
G#        Cm      D#   G7
 They call  the Rising Sun
         Cm        D#  F              G#
It's been  the ruin of many a poor boy
       Cm  G7            Cm
And me,  oh  God, I'm one

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Cm         D#              F
Mamma, she worked for a tailor man
G#        Cm       D#            G7
 She sewed  all my new blue jeans
       Cm       D#    F     G#
And my daddy was a gamblin' man
       Cm          G7    Cm
In the town of old New Orleans
Shuffle them cards, Richard

[Solo 1]

G7 | Cm 

[Verse 3]
---------------------
      Cm D#               F             G#
The only thing that a rounder ever needs
         Cm  D#         G7
Is a suitcase or a trunk
        Cm       D#     F        G#
And the only time he's ever satisfied
   Cm        G7   Cm
Is when he's on a drunk

[Verse 4]
---------------------
     Cm               D# F                 G#
Boys fill up your glasses right to the brim
        Cm         D#            G7
Let the drinks flow merrily round
      Cm                 D#    F            G#
We'll drink to the health of a rounder poor boy
       Cm        G7      Cm
Who rambles from town to town

[Verse 5]
---------------------
    Cm                   D#      F              G#
Now fella's don't believe what a bad woman tells you
           Cm          D#       G7
Though her eyes be blue or brown
  Cm                    D#       F             G#
Unless she's standing on some old scaffold high
       Cm                     G7        Cm
Saying "fellas" they won't let  me come down

[Solo 2]

D# | F  | G# | Cm 
G7 | Cm 

[Verse 6]
---------------------
   Cm      D#       F
Go tell my youngest brother
G#      Cm           D#                   G7
 Not to do the awful things that I've done
       Cm            D#               F
And to shun that old house down in New Orleans
G#         Cm       G7     Cm
 That they call the Rising Sun

[Verse 7]
---------------------
             Cm          D#          F
Soon they'll take me back down to New Orleans
G#  Cm           D#                   G7
 To face all the crimes that I've done
             Cm        D#  F            G#
Then they'll tie me to, an old ball and chain
  Cm             G7      Cm
Until my earlthy race is run
Save to...
