House of the Rising Sun Guitar Chords

A few years ago House Of The Rising Sun was voted whole 122 on the Rolling Stone magazine 500 greatest Songs Of All Time. If you learn to play this song, even you just play the intro, citizen are going to recognise you for the cool dude you as a matter of fact are. This is a song that has been colse to for about a hundred years or so. It was first recorded in 1933, and recorded again by some country and folk artists over the years until the definitive version of House Of The Rising Sun Was recorded in 1964 by English group Eric Burdon And The Animals. The song was recorded in one take while the group were on the road in England as a sustain for Chuck Berry, and the spine tingling intro to the song was played by guitarist Hilton Valentine on a Rickenbacker 330 guitar. Many citizen say that it was the first time a folk song was recorded by a rock group.

The guitar chords for the song are easy and you can learn the chord sequence in a few minutes, then spend a few years fooling colse to with arpeggios and strumming patterns and whatnot. So the chords are A minor, C major, D major, F major and E major. To get the feeling of the recording by The Animals just play each chord as an arpeggio like this A minor chord:

Okay, so here is a basic guide to how the chords for House Of The Rising Sun fit in with the lyrics.

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

Just Repeat The Chord Sequence For The Rest Of The Verses

My mom was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mom tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

If you hunt colse to the internet you will find some slightly distinct versions, but I would recommend you use what I have given you here as a basis for your own trademark rendition.
