All the other chords here were wrong so this is what I believe to be correct. For 
the tab, just play the chords in arpeggios with the G as a barre chord.

Intro: 

Dm, F, G, Bb
Dm, A7, Dm, A7


Dm         F         G    Bb
There is a house in New Orleans
Dm        F          A7 
They call the Rising Sun
         Dm        F        G             Bb 
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Dm       A7        Dm      
And God I know I'm one 
F   G   Bb
Dm, A7, Dm, A7

Dm         F         G    Bb
My mother was a tailor
Dm        F          A7  
She sewed my new bluejeans
Dm         F         G    Bb 
My father was a gamblin' man 
Dm       A7        Dm  
Down in New Orleans
F   G   Bb
Dm, A7, Dm, A7
 

Dm         F         G        Bb
Now the only thing a gambler needs 
Dm        F          A7 
Is a suitcase and trunk 
Dm         F         G    Bb
And the only time he's satisfied 
Dm       A7        Dm     
Is when he's on a drunk 
F   G   Bb
Dm, A7, Dm, A7

Oh mother tell your children
Dm        F          A7  
Not to do what I have done 
Dm         F         G    Bb
Spend your lives in sin and misery 
Dm       A7                Dm      
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform 
Dm        F          A7 
The other foot on the train
Dm         F         G    Bb
I'm goin' back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain
