[Verse 1]
Am F/A C
There is a house in New Orleans
Em C/E F
They call the Rising Sun
Am F/A C
And it's been the ruin of many poor souls
Em C/E F
And lord, my father is one
Em D5
My mother, she's a tailor
D F C
She sews those blue blue jeans
Am C
To keep my gambling father drunk
Em C/E F
Deep down in New Orleans
[Refrain]
F E5 C F
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day

[Verse 2]
Am F/A C
Like a bird flying over forest fire
Em C/E F
My father feels the heat beneath his wings
Am F/A C
And in debt he leaves for another tower
Em C/E F
Where he gambles and drunk he still drinks
Em D5
My mother hides from pleasure
D F C
Sees the father on her knees
Am C
Left it in the arms of God
Em C/E F
Away from New Orleans
[Refrain]

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