[Verse 1]
      Bm   G/B      D
There is a house in New Orleans
     F#m      D/F#    G
They call the Rising Sun
         Bm       G/B           D
And it's been the ruin of many poor souls
    F#m      D/F#      G
And lord, my father is one
   F#m             E5
My mother, she's a tailor
    E          G         D
She sews those blue blue jeans
   Bm               D
To keep my gambling father drunk
     F#m     D/F#   G
Deep down in New Orleans


[Refrain]
G                    F#5           D         G
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day

[Verse 2]
Bm          G/B         D
Like a bird flying over forest fire
   F#m              D/F#             G
My father feels the heat beneath his wings
    Bm          G/B        D
And in debt he leaves for another tower
         F#m         D/F#            G
Where he gambles and drunk he still drinks
   F#m                E5
My mother hides from pleasure
E               G      D
Sees the father on her knees
Bm             D
Left it in the arms of God
 F#m      D/F#   G
Away from New Orleans


[Refrain]
G             F#5           D         G
Happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day
G             F#5           D         G
Happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day
