(3)and the only things a gambler needs        
(4)ive got one foot on the platform

Am            C      E    E7                             
they call the rising sun
she sewed my new blue jeans                
is a suitcase and a trunk                  
the other foot on the train
not to do what I have done                                  
                  
Am            C       D           F        
and It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
my father was a gambling man               
and the only time hes satisfied           
im going back to new orleans              
spend your life in sin and misery          
      
Am         E         Am    
and God i know im one
down in new orleans                        
is when hes all drunk                   
to wear the ball and chain                 
in the house of the rising sun             

C    D    F    Am    E    Am    E7
