The House Of The Rising Sun Chords

(ver. 1)
Krokus
[Intro]
| C#m    | E      | F#     | A      |
| C#m    | E      | G#     | G#     |
| C#m    | E      | F#     | A      |
| C#m    | G#     | C#m    |
 
 
[Verse 1]
      C#m  E        F#         Asus2
There is a house in New Orleans
     C#m      E      G#
They call the Rising Sun
         C#m      E       F#          Asus2
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    C#m   G#        C#m
And God I know, I'm one
 
 
[Verse 2]
   C#m    E          F#    A
My mother, she was a tailor
C#m      E        G#
Sewed my new blue jeans
   C#m     E        F#       A
My father, he was a gambling man
C#m     G#    C#m
Down in New Orleans
 
 
[Verse 3]
        C#m  E       F#      Asus2
Now the only thing a gambler needs
     C#m      E     G#
Is a suitcase and a trunk
        C#m  E         F#   Asus2
And the only time he's satisfied
   C#m       G#   C#m    G#
Is when he's on a drunk
 
 
[Solo]
| C#m    | E      | F#     | A      |
| C#m    | E      | G#     | G#     |
| C#m    | E      | F#     | A      |
| C#m    | G#     | C#m    | G#     |
| C#m    | E      | F#     | A      |
| C#m    | E      | G#     | G#     |
| C#m    | E      | F#     | A      |
| C#m    | G#     | C#m    | C#m    |
 
 
[Verse 4]
   C#m    E          F#      Asus2
Oh mother, tell your children
       C#m        E    G#
Not to do, what I have done
 C#m       E        F#          Asus2
Spend your lives in sin and misery
       C#m          G#     C#m    G#
In the House of the Rising Sun
 
 
[Verse 5]
          C#m     E           F#      A
Well I've got one foot on the platform
    C#m   E      G#
The other on the train, yeah
    C#m   E       F#    A
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
   C#m       G#       C#m    G#
To wear that ball and chain
 
 
[Verse 6]
           C#m  E        F#         A
Well there is a house in New Orleans
     C#m      E      G#
They call the Rising Sun
         C#m      E       F#          A
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    C#m  G#
And God    I know
N.C.
I'm the one
