[Verse 1]
Gm D#/G A#
There is a house in New Orleans
Dm A#/D D#
They call the Rising Sun
Gm D#/G A#
And it's been the ruin of many poor souls
Dm A#/D D#
And lord, my father is one
Dm C5
My mother, she's a tailor
C D# A#
She sews those blue blue jeans
Gm A#
To keep my gambling father drunk
Dm A#/D D#
Deep down in New Orleans
[Refrain]
D# D5 A# D#
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day

[Verse 2]
Gm D#/G A#
Like a bird flying over forest fire
Dm A#/D D#
My father feels the heat beneath his wings
Gm D#/G A#
And in debt he leaves for another tower
Dm A#/D D#
Where he gambles and drunk he still drinks
Dm C5
My mother hides from pleasure
C D# A#
Sees the father on her knees
Gm A#
Left it in the arms of God
Dm A#/D D#
Away from New Orleans
[Refrain]

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