The House Of The Rising Sun Tab by Animals House Of The Rising Sun Performed by The Animals Tabbed by Brandon Williams Bwillia1074@cs.com Let me start off by saying I don't know what chord this is: e|-------0-----| B|------2--2---| G|-----1-----1-| D|-------------| A|-------------| E|-0-----------| In all the other posts of this song, they call it an E7. But an E7 looks like 020100. It sounds right so I guess I'll call it an E7, too. Does anyone know how to play the organ solos on guitar? If so, contact via e-mail. Anyway, my tab should be the most accurate of all the other posts of this song.
