Waylon Jennings - House Of The Rising Sun(harp) guitar tab

These might not be Waylon's lyrics,but as long as you have

the tab,I think it's fine.

Verse 1:

5 -6 -7 7 8 -8 -6 -6

There is a house in New Orleans

-10 -10 -10 9 8 8

They call the Rising Sun.

-10 -10 -10 -7 7 8 -8-6 -6 -6 -6

And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl

-6 -6 -6 6#5 6 -6

And God, I know I'm one.

Verse 2:

-10 10 -10 9 7 -8 -6 -6 -10 -10 9 8 8

My mother was a tailor sewed my new blue jeans.

-10 -10 -10 9 7 -8-6 -6 -67 -6 -6 6#5 6 -6

My fa ther was a gam blin' man down in New Orleans

Verse 3:

Now the onl y thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk

And the o nly time he'll be sa tisfied, is when he's all a drunk.
