 They say the sun,  an-a shines for all.
D              C#m
 But-a in some people's world;
F#m                Bm
 It never shine at all, mm-mm-mm.

D              C#m
 They say love is a stream,
F#m                 Bm
 That will find its course.
        D                   C#m
I mean, some-a people think life is a dream,
        F#m             Bm

No matter what the crisis is.

F#m
 Doin' it, doin' it, doin' your thing!
                  D9

 So little (been done), little been done.
D                    C#m
 They still killin', killin' the people,
    F#m
And they, and they havin', (havin' their fun),
Bm
 Havin'-a, havin'-a lots of fun.

D            C#m
 Killin' the people;
    F#m          Bm
Ooh-yoo! (havin' fun), havin' their fun!
D                  C#m
 They just want to be the leader,
       F#m                 Bm
In the House of The Risin' Sun.
