Am Am, C C, D D, F F, Am Am, E7 E7, Am Am, E7 E7

Am Am C C D D F F
There is a house in New Orleans
Am Am C C Em Em Em Em
They call the Rising Sun
Am Am C C D D F F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
And God I know I'm one
Am Am C C D D F F
My mother was a tailor
Am Am C C E7 E7 E7 E7
She sewed my new bluejeans
Am Am C C D D F F
My father was a gamblin' man

Am Am E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7
Down in New Orleans
Am Am C C D D F F
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Am Am E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7
Is a suitcase and trunk
Am Am C C D D F F
And the only time he's satisfied
Am Am E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7
Is when he's on a drunk

Am Am C C D D F F
Oh mother tell your children
Am Am C C E7 E7 E7 E7
Not to do what I have done
Am Am C C D D F F
Spend your lives in sin and misery
Am Am E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7
In the House of the Rising Sun

#Start strumming Down, Down, Up, Down

Am Am C C D D F F
Well, I got one foot on the platform
Am Am C C E7 E7
The other foot on the train
Am Am F F D D F F
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
Am Am E7 E7 E7 E7
To wear that ball and chain


Am Am C C D D F F
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
Am Am E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7
They call the Rising Sun
Am Am C C D D F F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
And God I know I'm one

The beginning is a finger picking pattern like you have showed make sure to state it that this song is in 3/4 time so the last two strings are played as 8th notes.
