This version has the descending bass that really makes their arrangement. I play the F# in the D/F# chord with my thumb; the chord could also be fingered like this: --2--ring finger --3--pinkie --2--middle finger --0-- --0-- --2--forefinger I generally use a full barre for the F, but that could also be done by stopping the low E string with the thumb. House of the Rising Sun The version roughly follows the Animals version, but it's been a while since I played it, and I may have muffed a few notes. Anyway, this gives you the general idea. It's my second try at writing and posting tab; if anyone can give a helpful suggestion to make it better next time, I'd appreciate the advice.

After reviewing the others I listened to it and here's what I got. standard tuning, 6/8 time (six beats per measure) intro: A E7 A C D F A E7 A E7 A - i think, but it is somewhere in the middle of the regular progression: A C D F | A C E E7 | A C D F | *A E7 A C D F A E7 A E7 | repeat thru out RYTHM:/ /// / / | / /// / / | ETC.

I deffinitely do not hear that in the animals recorded cover of this song. If there is something I just dont know, and you do please make it known. tgrubbs@pilot.infi.net Also, this peice is a exellent one to sing Amazing Grace to. ":p
