[Verse 1]
There is a house in Charming Town
Am C E
They call the Rising Son
Am C D F
It's been the ruin of many a poor girl
Am E Am
And me, Oh God, I'm one
[Verse 2]
Am C D F
If I listened to my mama
Am C E
Lord I'd be home today
Am C D F
But I was young and foolish
Am E Am
And some rider led me astray
[Verse 3]
Am C D F
Go tell my baby sister
Am C E
never do what I've done
Am C D F
To sell the house in Charming Town
Am E Am
They call the Rising Son
[Verse 4]
Am C D F
My Mother, she's a tailor
Am C E
She sewed my new blue jeans
Am C D F
My sweetheart he's a rambler
Am E Am
Lord he rides an old machine
[Verse 5]
Now the only thing a rambler needs
is a suitcase and a gun
the only time he's satisfied
is when he's on the run
[Verse 6]
He fills his chamber up with lead
and takes his pain to town
the only pleasure he gets out of life
is bringing another man down
[Verse 7]
He's got one hand on the throttle
the other on the breaks
he's riding back to Redwood
On his father's stake
[Verse 8]
And me I wait in Charming Town
To gain my love as one
I'm staying here to lend my life
Down in the Rising Son
[Outro]
I'm staying here to end my life
Down in the Rising Son
