House Of The Rising Sun by The Animals - Guitar Chords

<< Back to The Animals Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 7 Version 8

            All the other chords here were wrong so this is what I believe to be correct. For 
the tab, just play the chords in arpeggios with the G as a barre chord.

[Intro]
Dm, F, G, Bb
Dm, A7, Dm, A7

[Verse 1]
Dm         F         G    Bb
There is a house in New Orleans
Dm        F          A7 
They call the Rising Sun
         Dm        F        G             Bb 
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Dm       A7        Dm      
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
Dm        F          A7

Dm         F         G        Bb
Now the only thing a gambler needs 
Dm        F          A7 
Is a suitcase and trunk 
Dm         F         G    Bb
And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Dm        F          A7  
Not to do what I have done 
Dm         F         G    Bb
Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the House of the Rising Sun

The other foot on the train
Dm         F         G    Bb
I'm goin' back to New Orleans 
Dm       A7        Dm   
To wear that ball and chain
