House of the Rising Sun
G Bb C D# G D G D
G Bb C D# G
There is a house, in New Orleans,
Bb D
They call the Rising Sun,
G Bb C D# G
And it’s been the ruin of many a boy,
D G D
Lord knows I was one.
G Bb C D# G
My Father was a gambler,
Bb D
He lived by the gun,
G Bb C D#
He swore someday he’d take me to the play,
G D G D
At the House of the Rising Sun.
G Bb C D# G
My mother was a lady,
Bb D G
She never hurt no one,
Bb C
She cursed the day,
D# G D G D
I went to play in the House of the Rising Sun.
G Bb C D# G
She said, “ you’re like your daddy boy,
Bb D G
Livin’ on the run,
Bb C D#
Someday you’ll draw a dead man’s hand,
G D G D
In the House of the Rising Sun.
G Bb C D# G Bb D, G Bb C D# G D G D (X2)
G Bb C D# G
So listen all you gamblers,
Bb D
Don’t do what I have done,
G Bb C D#
You’ll lose the things that you love the most,
G D G D
In the House of the Rising Sun.
G Bb C D# G
There is a house in New Orleans,
Bb D
They call the Rising Sun,
G Bb C D# G
And it’s been the luck of many poor boys,
D G D
And I guess that I was one.
G Bb C D# G Bb D, G Bb

-guitarking88 | 11/17/2004 | DUDE.........This tab is like keeps getting worse. My advice is first play it in Am. Then learn how to tab. PC.
-thompsonbdog23 | 2/14/2005 | Bob Dylan wrote the song.
Am C Dm F
There is a house in New Orleans
Am C E E7
They call the Rising Sun
Am C Dm F
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl
Am Em Am C Dm F Am Em Am
And me oh God I'm a one
The real words are "poor girl". Everybody
changes the words to boy. Bob Dylan WROTE
the song and says "poor girl".
-macg1 | 11/19/2005 | First off, this is the way DAC plays it... there are things called "version" of the song, and this is DAC's "version".
-buffdixie | 11/19/2005 | Yeah, but they're all major chords.
Hasn't he ever heard tell of those?
"Versions" of the song are changing it, but
it has to have the right harmonization in
the chords that he's singing over to
actually be the song. Major chords, minor
chords, dominant sevenths, he can add and
take out some, but you gotta keep the
progression similar to the way it was written, or it's not really the song.
Whatever key, it doesn't matter. In this, the first chords you have
are G, then Bb. If it were actually this song, that G would have to
be a minor chord.
