"House of the Rising Sun" as covered by the Animals
transcribed by Thom A. G. II

Of the versions I have seen so far, none seem quite right to me.  After
reviewing the others I listened to it and here's what I got.

standard tuning, 6/8 time (six beats per measure)

intro: A E7 A C D F A E7 A E7 A - i think, but it is 
somewhere in the middle of the regular progression:
A C D F | A C E E7 | A C D F | *A E7 A C D F A E7 A E7 | repeat thru out

RYTHM:/   /// / / | /   /// / / | ETC.
BEATS:1 2 3 4 5 6 | 1 2 3 4 5 6 | ECT.

I heard mention of the bass notes for the guitar being instead of 
mine as A down to G down to F down to E.  I deffinitely do not hear
that in the animals recorded cover of this song.  If there is something
I just dont know, and you do please make it known.
