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

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