This is an easy one once you have the hang of it.

These are the cords that are used in this song.

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


This is how you pick it.(And pick it you should !)

      Am                  C                   D                      F

Pick in the same manner the other chords for each line of each verse.

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambl'n man
Down in New Orleans

Well it's one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm going down to New Orleans
To claim my fathers name

Mothers tell your children
Not to do what I have done
...(Here I can't understand what he's singing)...
In the House of the Rising Sun

  There are all Four verses, except for the ever elusive third line 
of the fourth verse.  Anyone who can actually understand what he sings 
please e-mail me and let me know.  Not knowing is driving me nuts. 
 
Tips : After the second verse there is a verse long interlude of Organ
and Guitar.  After the interlude he stops picking and is wildly but 
rythmicly strumming the chords.  You should do the same

Good Luck !
