[Verse 1]
Em C/E G
There is a house in New Orleans
Bm G/B C
They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many poor souls
Bm G/B C
And lord, my father is one
Bm A5
My mother, she's a tailor
A C G
She sews those blue blue jeans
Em G
To keep my gambling father drunk
Bm G/B C
Deep down in New Orleans
[Refrain]

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

[Verse 2]
Em C/E G
Like a bird flying over forest fire
Bm G/B C
My father feels the heat beneath his wings
Em C/E G
And in debt he leaves for another tower
Bm G/B C
Where he gambles and drunk he still drinks
Bm A5
My mother hides from pleasure
A C G
Sees the father on her knees
Em G
Left it in the arms of God
Bm G/B C
Away from New Orleans
[Refrain]
