INTRO  GUITAR STRUMMING THEN ALL COME IN ON A CHORD 

D5 
She just jumped on a plane Paid no attention to me  
                                              E5 
Gave me no notice But her goodbyes sure were sweet 
 A5 
Said she's gonna write Maybe call me up 
     D5 
She checked her bags And then she broke my heart 
     A5                   E5     
She kissed my cheek And told me not to keep in touch 


            D5                             A5 
I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away 
     D5                             A5 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away 
     D5 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl 
N/C/ E5 
I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again 
     D5               E5             A5 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away 

Now we're apart I think about her everyday 

Well the scuffle of little feet All round the bed 

I'm gettin' no cards, gettin' no mail My girl ain?t on the telephone 

If she don't come home I know that's where I'm gonna go 

Chorus 

BRIDGE 
         D5 
They're buying our beaches Sellin' transistors 
 A5 
Them little folk look real big 
 D5 
If they think that they can take her away 
           E5              A5 
I'm gonna steal her back again . . . Shake! 

SOLO LIKE VERSE PIANO THEN GUITAR 

I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl 
Gonna catch a plane and steal her back again 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away   

REPEAT Chorus AND END
