[Verse 1]
Bm G/B D
There is a house in New Orleans
F#m D/F# G
They call the Rising Sun
Bm G/B D
And it's been the ruin of many poor souls
F#m D/F# G
And lord, my father is one
F#m E5
My mother, she's a tailor
E G D
She sews those blue blue jeans
Bm D
To keep my gambling father drunk
F#m D/F# G
Deep down in New Orleans
[Refrain]
G F#5 D G
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day

[Verse 2]
Bm G/B D
Like a bird flying over forest fire
F#m D/F# G
My father feels the heat beneath his wings
Bm G/B D
And in debt he leaves for another tower
F#m D/F# G
Where he gambles and drunk he still drinks
F#m E5
My mother hides from pleasure
E G D
Sees the father on her knees
Bm D
Left it in the arms of God
F#m D/F# G
Away from New Orleans
[Refrain]
G F#5 D G
Happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day

Happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day
