AmCDF
There is a house in New Orleans
AmCEE
They call the Risin' Sun
AmCDF
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
AmEAm
And God, I know I'm one.
Interlude: CDFAmEAmEAmCDF
My mother was a tailor.
AmCEE
She sewed my new blue jeans.
AmCDF
My father was a gamblin' man
AmEAm
Down in New Or-leans.
Interlude: CDFAmEAmEAmCDF
Now, the only thing a gambler needs
AmCEE
Is a suitcase and a trunk
AmCDF
And the only time that he's satis-fied
AmEAm
Is when he's on a drunk
Interlude: CDFAmEAmE
Organ Solo - For about 12- 16 bars -

Oh, Mother, tell your children
AmCEE
Not to do what I have done.
AmCDF
Spend your lives in sin and misery
AmEAm
In the house of the risin' sun.
Interlude: CDFAmEAmEAmCDF
Well, I've got one foot on the platform.
AmCEE
the other foot on the train.
AmCDF
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
AmEAm
To wear that ball and chain.
Interlude: CDFAmEAmEAmCDF
Well, there is a house in New Orleans

The Animals were a British rock band of the 1960s, formed in Newcastle. They were part of the British Invasion, being one of the most popular bands of their era. Known for their gritty, raw, bluesy sound and hard-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature songs House of the Rising Sun and Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, the band underwent numerous personnel changes, while influencing the later heavy metal music with the riffs of their rock songs such as We Gotta Get Out Of This Place and It’s my Life.
