House Of The Rising Sun

Capo on the 1st fret


[Verse]

There is a house in charming town 
Em           G       B
they call the rising sun
Em              G       A             C
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl 
Em        B      Em
And me oh god I'm one

Em     G        A      
If I'd listened to my mama 
Em     G        B
Lord I'd be home today
Em     G        A     
But I was young and foolish 
Em     B        Em         
And some rider led me astray

Em     G        A      C
Go tell my baby sister
Em     G        B
Never do what I have done
Em     G        A      C
To shun the house in charming town
Em        B        Em
They call the rising sun

Em      G          A        C
My mother she's a tailor
Em          G        B
She sewed my new blue jeans
Em            G       A        C
My sweetheart he's a rambler 
Em              B    Em
Lord he rides an old machine

[Verse]

Em           G           A      C
Now the only thing a rambler needs
Em      G      B
is a suitcase and a gun
Em      G      A       C
The only time he's satisfied
Em      B      Em
is when he's on the run

Em      G       A        C
He fills his chamber up with lead 
Em      G       B
And takes his pain to town
Em      G       A        C
The only pleasure he gets out of life
Em      B       Em
is bringing another man down

[Verse]

Em           G          A       C
He's got one hand on the throttle
Em           G     B
the other on the brake
Em        G        A       C
He's riding back to Redwood
Em      B      Em
to own his fathers' stake


Em x2

Em       G        A        C
And here I wait in charming town
Em       G        B
to gain my lovless one??
Em       G        A        C
I'm staying here to end my life
Em       B       Em
down in the rising sun

Em       G        A        C
I'm staying here to end my life 
Em       B        Em
down in the rising sun
