A5   C5           D5      F5
There is a house in Charming Town
A5       C5    E5
They call the Rising Sun
A5       C5     D5        F5
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
A5       C5    A5
And me, Oh God, I'm one


A5   C5           D5      F5
If I listened to my mama
A5       C5    E5
Lord I'd be home today
A5   C5           D5      F5
But I was young and foolish
A5       C5    A5
Handsome rider led me astray


A5   C5           D5      F5
Go tell my baby sister
A5       C5    E5
never do what I've done
A5   C5           D5      F5
To shun the house in Charming Town
A5       C5    A5
They call the Rising Sun


A5   C5           D5      F5
My Mother, she's a tailor
A5       C5    E5
She sewed my new blue jeans
A5   C5           D5      F5
My sweetheart he's a rambler
A5       C5    A5
Lord he rides in old machines


A5   C5           D5      F5
Now the only thing a rambler needs
A5       C5    E5
is a suitcase and a gun
A5   C5           D5      F5
the only time he's satisfied
A5       C5    A5
is when he's on the run


A5   C5           D5      F5
He fills his chamber up with lead
A5       C5    E5
and takes his pain to town
A5   C5           D5      F5
only pleasure he gets out of life
A5       C5    A5
is bringing another man down


A5   C5           D5      F5
He's got one hand on the throttle
A5       C5    E5
the other on the brake
A5   C5           D5      F5
he's riding back to Redwood
A5       C5    A5
To own his father's stake


A5   C5           D5      F5
And me I wait in Charming Town
A5       C5    E5
The game my love has won
A5   C5           D5      F5
I'm staying here to end my life
A5       C5    A5
Down in the Rising Sun


A5   C5           D5      F5
I'm staying here to end my life
A5       C5    A5
Down in the Rising Sun
