[Verse 1]
Cm G#/C D#
There is a house in New Orleans
Gm D#/G G#
They call the Rising Sun
Cm G#/C D#
And it's been the ruin of many poor souls
Gm D#/G G#
And lord, my father is one
Gm F5
My mother, she's a tailor
F G# D#
She sews those blue blue jeans
Cm D#
To keep my gambling father drunk
Gm D#/G G#
Deep down in New Orleans
[Refrain]
G# G5 D# G#
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day

[Verse 2]
Cm G#/C D#
Like a bird flying over forest fire
Gm D#/G G#
My father feels the heat beneath his wings
Cm G#/C D#
And in debt he leaves for another tower
Gm D#/G G#
Where he gambles and drunk he still drinks
Gm F5
My mother hides from pleasure
F G# D#
Sees the father on her knees
Cm D#
Left it in the arms of God
Gm D#/G G#
Away from New Orleans
