House Of The Rising Sun


Here is what I beleive to be the correct picking technique for the song. The chords you need to know are Am, C, D, F and E. The order they appear in is as follows: Am, C, D, F, Am, E, Am, E. These chords repeat throughuot the whole song in that order without stop. Here is the tab technique. Play the root note of all the chords and let it ring out. Then simply play an up-down arpeggio on the chords, but I only play the root note and the bottom 3 notes on certain chords, as follows: Am C D F E-----------0----------------0--------------2--------------1--------| B---------1---1------------1---1----------3---3----------1---1------| G-------2-------2--------2-------2------2-------2------2-------2----| D-------------------------------------0~-------------3~-------------| A----0~---------------3~--------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------------------------| Am E Am E E-----------0---------------0----------------0--------------0------| B---------1---1-----------0---0------------1---1----------0---0----| G-------2-------2-------1-------1--------2-------2------1-------1--| D------------------------------------------------------------------| A----0~------------------------------0~----------------------------| E--------------------0~-------------------------------0~-----------| INTRO Am C D F Am E Am E Verse Am C D F There is a house in New Orleans Am E Am E They call the Rising Sun Am C D F And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy Am E Am C D F Am E Am E And God I know I'm one Am C D F My mother was a tailor Am E Am E She sewed my new bluejeans Am C D F My father was a gamblin' man Am E Am C D F Am E Am E Down in New Orleans The whole song follows his structure, I dont know the keyboard solo tab, but when i get it i'll post it.
