  • Album:

    The Animals - Greatest ...

Here is what I beleive to be the correct picking technique for the song.  The chords you
need to know are Am, C, D, F and E.  Th order they appear in is as follows:  Am, C, D,
F, Am, E, Am, E.  These chords repeat throughuot the whole song in that order without 
stop.  Here is the tab technique.

Play the root note of all the chords and let it ring out.  Then simply play an up-down
arpeggio on the chords, but I only play the root note and the bottom 3 notes on certain
chords, as follows:

      Am             C                D              F
E-----------0----------------0--------------2--------------1--------|
B---------1---1------------1---1----------3---3----------1---1------|
G-------2-------2--------2-------2------2-------2------2-------2----|
D-------------------------------------0~-------------3~-------------|
A----0~---------------3~--------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|



     Am              E               Am               E
E-----------0---------------0----------------0--------------0------|
B---------1---1-----------0---0------------1---1----------0---0----|
G-------2-------2-------1-------1--------2-------2------1-------1--|

Verse
      Am   C        D          F
There is a house in New Orleans
     Am       E      Am    E
They call the Rising Sun
         Am       C       D              F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am    E            Am  C  D  F
 Am  E  Am  E
And God I know I'm one

   Am     C     D     F
My mother was a tailor
    Am       E       Am    E
She sewed my new bluejeans
   Am     C     D        F
My father was a gamblin' man
Am      E          Am  C  D  F
Am  E  Am  E
Down in New Orleans

The whole song follows his structure, I dont know the keyboard solo tab, but when i get
it i'll post it.
