[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
D D7
There is a house down in New Orleans
G D
They call the Rising Sun
D G
And it's been the ruin of a many poor boy
D A D
And me, oh God , for one
[Verse 2]
D D7
Then fill the glasses to the brim
G D
Let the drinks go merrily around
D G
And we'll drink to the health of a rounder poor boy
D A7 D
Who goes from town to town
[Verse 3]
D D7
The only thing that a rounder needs
G D
Is a suitcase and a trunk
D G
And the only time he's satisfied
D A7 D
Is when he's on a drunk
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
D D7
Now boys don't believe what a girl tells you
G D
Though her eyes be blue or brown
D G G7
Unless she's on some scaffold high
D A7 D
Saying "Boys, I can't come down."
[Verse 5]
D D7
Go tell my youngest brother
G D
Not to do the things I've done
D G
But to shun that house down in New Orleans
D A D
They call the Rising Sun
[Instrumental]

[Verse 6]
D D7
I'm going back, back to New Orleans
G D
For my race is nearly run
D G
Gonna spend the rest of my wicked life
D A D
Beneath that Rising Sun
