(mélodie traditionnelle anglaise ~1700)

Am  C  D  F  Am  E  Am  E  arpégé

      Am   C        D            F
There is a house in New Orleans
     Am       C      E    E
They call the Rising Sun
         Am       C       D           F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am     E         Am  C  D  F  Am  E  Am  E
And God, I know, I'm one

My mother was a tailor               (w/ orgue  D7  F7)
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans

And the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's all drunk

Couplet (gratté)  w/ solo orgue

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun

Well, I've got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know, I'm one

fin: Am  C  D  F7  Am  E

Am  Dm  x 5

Am  accord fucké orgue
