House Of The Rising Sun(Chords)

	        
There is a house in Charming Town 
     Am       C      E 
They call the Rising Son 
     Am       C       D           F 
It's been the ruin of many a poor girl 
    Am     E        Am 
And me, Oh God, I'm one 

  Am  C       D     F 
If I listened to my mama 
     Am     C    E 
Lord I'd be home today 
    Am    C     D         F 
But I was young and foolish 
         Am     E        Am 
And some rider led me astray 

    Am  C       D     F 
Go tell my baby sister 
       Am     C    E 
never do what I've done 
   Am        C       D         F 
To sell the house in Charming Town 
     Am     E        Am 
They call the Rising Son 

   Am      C     D     F 
My Mother, she's a tailor 
    Am        C       E 
She sewed my new blue jeans 
   Am        C     D  F 
My sweetheart he's a rambler 
    Am           E    Am 
Lord he rides an old machine 

Now the only thing a rambler needs 
is a suitcase and a gun 
the only time he's satisfied 
is when he's on the run 

He fills his chamber up with lead 
and takes his pain to town 
the only pleasure he gets out of life 
is bringing another man down 

He's got one hand on the throttle 
the other on the breaks 
he's riding back to Redwood 
On his father's stake 

And me I wait in Charming Town 
To gain my love as one 
I'm staying here to lend my life 
Down in the Rising Son 

I'm staying here to end my life 
Down in the Rising Son
