The House Of The Rising Sun(Chords)

	        
Fm     G#        Fm      G# 
 There is a house in charming town 
    Fm       G#       C 
they call the rising sun 
         Fm        G#      Bb          C# 
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl 
    Fm     C      Fm 
And me oh god I'm one 

Fm              G#     Bb 
If I'd listened to my mama 
     Fm     G#        C 
Lord I'd be home today 
   Fm      G#         Bb 
But I was young and foolish 
         Fm        C     Fm 
And some rider led me astray 

Fm      G#        Bb 
Go tell my baby sister 
Fm     G#        C 
Never do what I have done 
Fm           G#        Bb      C# 
To shun the house in charming town 
      Fm        C      Fm 
They call the rising sun 

Fm         G#      Bb 
My mother she's a tailor 
Fm            G#        C 
She sewed my new blue jeans 
Fm           G#       Bb    C# 
My sweetheart he's a rambler 
       Fm       C    Fm 
Lord he rides an old machine 

 SOLO  
Fm G# Bb C# 
Fm G# C 
Fm G# Bb C# 
Em G# Fm 

Fm           G#          Bb 
Now the only thing a rambler needs 
Fm      G#      C 
is a suitcase and a gun 
Fm      G#      Bb       C# 
The only time he's satisfied 
Fm     C      Fm 
is when he's on the run 

Fm       G#        Bb 
He fills his chamber up with lead 
Fm      G#       C 
And takes his pain to town 
Fm      G#       Bb        C# 
The only pleasure he gets out of life 
Fm      C       Fm 
is bringing another man down 

-- Instrumental -- 

Fm           G#          Bb 
He's got one hand on the throttle 
Fm           G#     C 
the other on the brake 
Fm        G#        B     C# 
He's riding back to Redwood 
Fm       C        Fm 
to own his fathers' stake 


Fm       G#        Bb 
And here I wait in charming town 
Fm       G#        C 
to gain my lovless one?? 
Fm       G#        Bb        C# 
I'm staying here to end my life 
Fm       C       Fm 
down in the rising sun 

Fm       G#        Bb        C# 
I'm staying here to end my life 
Fm       C        Fm 
down in the rising sun
