Ricky Skaggs - House of the Rising Sun



(verse 1)
Am       C          D     F      Am        C          E
There is a house in New Orleans, They call the Rising Sun,
Am             C       D      F      
It's been the ruin of many a girl,
Am     E       Am
And me oh Lord I'm one


(verse 2)
My mother is a tailor she sews those new blue jeans,
My father he's a gambling man
Drinks down in New Orleans.


(verse 3)
     Am    C    D     F      Am        C        E
My father is a gambler, he goes from town to town,
Am         C         D           F 
The only time he's satified, is when,
    Am     E         Am
He drinks his liquor down.


(verse 3)
Go tell my baby sister, never do what I have done,
Shun that house in New Orleans,
They call the rising sun,


(verse 5)
Am    C      D     F           Am     C        E
One foot on the platform, the other's on the train,
     Am    C      D      F 
I'm going back to New Orleans,
    Am       E         Am
To wear that ball and chain,


(verse 6)
Going back to New Orlean, my race is almost run,
I'm going to spend the rest of my life,
Beneath that rising sun,
