House Of The Rising Sun (Interpreten: The Animals)

1

There [Am] is a [C] house in [D] New Or-[F] leans
they [Am] call the [C] Rising [E/B] Sun[E]
And it's[Am] been the [C] ruin of [D] many a poor [F] boy
and [Am] God I [E] know I'm [Am] one. [E]

2

My [Am] mother [C] was a [D] tailor [F]
she [Am] sewed my [C] new blue [E] jeans[E/B]
My [Am] father [C] was a [D] gamblin'[F] man
[Am] down in [E] New Or-[Am] leans [E7]

3

Now the [Am] only [C] thing a [D] gambler [F] needs
is a [Am] suitcase [C] and a [Esus4] trunk [E]
And the [Am] only [C] time he's [D] satis-[F] fied
is when [Am] he's [E7] won and -[Am] drunk [E]

4

Oh [Am] mother, [C] tell your [D] children [F]
not to [Am] do what [C] I have[E/B] done[E]
Spend your [Am] lives in [C] sin and [D] mise-[F]ry
in the [Am] house of the [E/B] Rising[Am] Sun[E]

5

Well I've [Am] got one [C] foot on the [D] platform [F]
the [Am] other [C] foot on the[E] train [E/B]
I'm [Am] going [C] back to [D] New Or- [F] leans
to -[Am] wear that [E] ball and [Am] chain [E7]

6

Well there[Am] is a [C] house in [D] New Or- [F]leans
they [Am] call the [C] Rising [E] Sun[E/B]
And it's [Am] been the [C] ruin of [D] many a poor [F] boy
and [Am] me oh [E] God I'm [Am] one[E] [Am]

Hinweise zu den verschiedenen E

In fast jeder Strophe wurde E in verschiedenen Varianten angeboten. Probiere alle Varianten aus, und entscheide hinterher, welche Variation dir besser gefällt. E/B ist ein E-Dur-Akkord mit einem H (engl. B) im Bass. Dieses besagt allerdings nur, dass für diesen Akkord die zweite Saite als Basston dient, und nicht die erste. Ansonsten wird der Akkord nicht anders gegriffen.
