Intro: Am C Dm F Am Em Am
Am C Dm F
There is a house down in New Orleans
Am C Em
They call the Risin’ Sun
Am C Dm F
And it’s been the ruin of many poor girl
Am Em Am C Dm F Em
And me, oh God, I’m a-one
Am C Dm F
My mother was a taylor
Am C Em
She sewed these new blue jeans
Am C Dm F
My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord
Am Em Am C Dm F Em
Down in New Orleans
Am C Dm F
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Am C Em
Is a suitcase and a trunk
Am C Dm F
And the only time he’s satisfied
Am Em Am C Dm F Em
Is when he’s on a drunk
Am C Dm F
He fills his glasses up to the brim
Am C Em
And he’ll pace the cards around
Am C Dm F
And the only pleasure he gets out of life
Am Em Am C Dm F Em
Is ramblin’ from town to town
Am C Dm F
Oh tell my baby sister
Am C Em
Not to do as I have done
Am C Dm F
But to shun that house in New Orleans
Am Em Am C Dm F Em
They call the Risin’ Sun
Am C Dm F
Well, it’s one foot on the platform
Am C Em
And the other foot on the train
Am C Dm F
I’m goin’ back to New Orleans
Am Em Am C Dm F Em
To wear that ball and chain
Am C Dm F
I’m a-goin’ back to New Orleans
Am C Em
My race is almost run
Am C Dm F
I’m goin’ back to end my life
