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

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