There is  a house in New Or-leans

 -8   -8  -8   7  -6  -6
They call the Ris-ing Sun

 5    -6  -7   7   8   -8  -7   -6  -6 
It's been the ruin of many  a  poor boy

-6  -6  -6  6 5  6  -6

 Is  a  suit-case and a trunk

And the on-  ly time he's sa-tis-fied

 7   7    7   -7 6  -7   7
Is when he's   on    a drunk
 


5  -6  -6   7    7    -7   5
Oh mo-ther tell your chil-dren
 
-8   -8  -8  -8  7  -6   -6 
Not  to  do what I have done

  -8   -8    7   6  -6   5  5  5  6 
Spend your lives in sin and mi-se-ry

In the House of the Ris-ing Sun
