There is a house in New Orleans

Now, the only thing a gambler needs
Am Am C C E E E E
Is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time that he's satis-fied
Am Am E E Am Am
Is when he's on a drunk

In the house of the risin' sun.

I'm goin' back to New Orleans
Am Am E E Am Am
To wear that ball and chain.

And God, I know I'm one.

By the fingerpicking, the E chords should be E7, but taking that into account, this is the best one I've found! Sounds excellent!
