There Am is a C house in Dm New Or- F leans
They Am call the C Rising E Sun E7
And it’s Am been the C ruin of Dm many a poor F boy
And Am God I E know I’m Am one E7
My Am mother C was a Dm tailor F
She Am sewed my C new blue E jeans E7
My Am father C was a Dm gamblin’ F man
Am Down in E New Or- Am leans E7
Now the Am only C thing a Dm gambler F needs
Is a Am suitcase C and a E trunk E7
And the Am only C time he’s Dm satis- F fied
Is Am when he’s E on a Am drunk E7
Oh Am mother C tell your Dm children F
Not toAm do what C I have E done E7
Am Spend your C lives in Dm sin and F misery
In the Am House of the E Rising Am Sun E7
Well, I got Am one foot C on the Dm plat- F form
The Am other foot C on the E train E7
I’m Am goin’ C back to Dm New Or- F leans
To Am wear that E ball and Am chain E7
Well, there Am is a C house in Dm New Or- F leans
They Am call the C Rising E Sun E7
And it’s Am been the C ruin of Dm many a poor F boy
And Am God I E know I’m Am one E7
