House Of The Rising Sun Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

EmThere is aG house inA charming Emtown

EmThey call theG rising Bsun

EmAnd its been theG ruin ofA many a poor gEmirl

EmAnd me oh Bgod im Emone

If id listened to my mamma

Lord id be home today

But I was young and foolish

Handsome rider led me astray

Go tell my baby sister

Never do what I have done’

The son of the house in charming town

We call the rising son

EmMy ,mothGer she’s a Atailor Em

EmShe sewed myG new blueB jeans

EmMy sweet heartG hes a rAambler Em

EmLord he rides anB ol’ Emmachine

Solo

same chords as the verses)

Now the only thing a rambler needs

is a suit case and a gun

The only time hes satisfied

is when hes on the run

He fills his chamber up with led

And takes his fame to town’

The only pleasure he gets outta life

Is bringing anpother man down

Instrumental break

Hes got one hand on the throttle

The other on the brake’

Hes riddin back to redwood

To own his fathers stake

And me I wait in charming town

To gain my lovless one

Im staying here to end my life

Down in the rising son

Im staying here to end end my life

down in the rising sun

end by playing chords through one last time, or solo
