House Of Rising Sun

• Em

      Em   G         A        C 
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 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 
Handsome rider led me astray 

   Em       G     A      C 
Go tell my baby sister 
Em           G       B 
never do what I've 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 in old machines 

(Em G A C Em G B Em G A C Em B Em) 

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 
only pleasure he gets out of life 
   Em       B            Em 
is bringing another man down 

(Em G A C Em G B Em G A C Em Em B) 

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 father's stake 

(Em Em) 

Em        G        A          C 
And me I wait in Charming Town 
Em           G       B 
The game my love has won 
Em          G        A      C 
I'm staying here to end my life 
Em          B       Em 
Down in the Rising Sun 

(Em G A C Em B) 

Em   G                A        C 
I'm staying here to end my life 
     Em     B       Em 
Down in the Rising Sun
