INTRO: [same chord progression that runs throughout the song]
------
Am C D F
Am E Am E


VERSE 1:
--------
      Am   C        D           F
There is a house in New Orleans
     Am       C      E
They call the Rising Sun
         Am       C       D           F
And it's been the ruin of many-a poor boy
    Am     E         Am  C  D  F  Am E Am E
and God, I know, I'm one


VERSE 2: [same as VERSE 1]
--------
My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
down in New Orleans


VERSE 3: [same as VERSE 1]
--------
Now the only thing a gambler needs
is a suitcase and a trunk
and the only time he is satisfied
is when he's all drunk


VERSE 4: [same as VERSE 1]
--------
Oh mother, tell your children
not to do what I have done
spend your lives in sin and misery
in the house of the Rising Sun


VERSE 5: [same as VERSE 1]
--------
Well, I've got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
to wear that ball and chain


VERSE 6: [same as VERSE 1]
--------
Well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many-a poor boy
and God, I know, I'm one


That's it. As for the solos, make up your own. It's real easy,
just use the A Blues scale or A minor scale. If you don't know
them here they are:

    A Blues Scale:
E|-------------------------5-8--|
B|---------------------5-8------|
G|---------------5-7-8----------|
D|-----------5-7----------------|
A|-----5-6-7--------------------|
E|-5-8--------------------------|

    A Minor Scale:
E|-----------------------------5--|
B|-----------------------5-6-8----|
G|-----------------4-5-7----------|
D|-------------5-7----------------|
A|-------5-7-8--------------------|
E|-5-7-8--------------------------|

Just use the notes from those two scales and solo like mad!
