Am   C/G           D/F#      F
There is a house in Charming Town
Am       C/G    E
They call the Rising Sun
Am       C/G     D/F#        F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
Am       C/G    Am
And me, Oh God, I'm one


Am   C/G           D/F#      F
If I listened to my mama
Am       C/G    E
Lord I'd be home today
Am   C/G           D/F#      F
But I was young and foolish
Am       C/G    Am
Handsome rider led me astray


Am   C/G           D/F#      F
Go tell my baby sister
Am       C/G    E
never do what I've done
Am   C/G           D/F#      F
To shun the house in Charming Town
Am       C/G    Am
They call the Rising Sun


Am   C/G           D/F#      F
My Mother, she's a tailor
Am       C/G    E
She sewed my new blue jeans
Am   C/G           D/F#      F
My sweetheart he's a rambler
Am       C/G    Am
Lord he rides in old machines


Am   C/G           D/F#      F
Now the only thing a rambler needs
Am       C/G    E
is a suitcase and a gun
Am   C/G           D/F#      F
the only time he's satisfied
Am       C/G    Am
is when he's on the run


Am   C/G           D/F#      F
He fills his chamber up with lead
Am       C/G    E
and takes his pain to town
Am   C/G           D/F#      F
only pleasure he gets out of life
Am       C/G    Am
is bringing another man down


Am   C/G           D/F#      F
He's got one hand on the throttle
Am       C/G    E
the other on the brake
Am   C/G           D/F#      F
he's riding back to Redwood
Am       C/G    Am
To own his father's stake


Am   C/G           D/F#      F
And me I wait in Charming Town
Am       C/G    E
The game my love has won
Am   C/G           D/F#      F
I'm staying here to end my life
Am       C/G    Am
Down in the Rising Sun


Am   C/G           D/F#      F
I'm staying here to end my life
Am       C/G    Am
Down in the Rising Sun
