[Verse 1]
G#m E/G# B
There is a house in New Orleans
D#m B/D# E
They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many poor souls
D#m B/D# E
And lord, my father is one
D#m C#5
My mother, she's a tailor
C# E B
She sews those blue blue jeans
G#m B
To keep my gambling father drunk
D#m B/D# E
Deep down in New Orleans
[Refrain]

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

[Verse 2]
G#m E/G# B
Like a bird flying over forest fire
D#m B/D# E
My father feels the heat beneath his wings
G#m E/G# B
And in debt he leaves for another tower
D#m B/D# E
Where he gambles and drunk he still drinks
D#m C#5
My mother hides from pleasure

Sees the father on her knees
G#m B
Left it in the arms of God

Away from New Orleans
