"The House Of The Rising Sun" – Animals (Gm), Capo-III

Intro : Em-G-A-C-Em-B7-Em-B7||

Em G A C
There is a house in New Orleans
Em G B7| B7
They call the Rising Sun
Em G A C
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Em B7 Em-G-A-C-Em-B7-Em-B7
And God, I know I'm one

Em -G -A-C-Em- B7-Em-B7
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs


Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's all drunk

[Organ Solo]

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

Well, I got one foot on the platform


The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

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
