House Of The Rising Sun

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
