House of the rising sun
INTRO-
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
And God, I know I'm one.
(Passing chords)
My mother was a tailor.
She sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Or-leans.
(Passing chords)
Now, the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he's satis-fied
Is when he's on a drunk
(Passing chords)
Organ Solo (For about 12- 16 bars)
Oh, Mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done.
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the risin' sun.
(Passing chords)
Well, I've got one foot on the platform.
the other foot on the train.
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain.
(Passing chords)
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
And God, I know I'm one.

Really, great tab! in place of the E chord I play an Em chord. Thanks for this arrangement.

as an alternative to the E chord you can do this:
put your second and third fingers on the fourth fret, first two strings
and your first finger on the second fret last string
hope this helps :)
