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

It's a happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day

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