The Animals - House of the Rising Sun
This is the picking pattern thru-out with chords.

Note- After the first verse, a synthesiser kinda takes over, 
so i just added the chords from the first verse and played, 
you dont have to play on those exact words, you just play with 
it and it turns out really nice

Am            C             D       F
 There is a house in New Orleans, 
Am                C         E     E7 
They call the Rising Sun 
       Am               C          D                 E7 
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy 
        Am             E7         Am        C D F Am E Am E7 
And God,     I know I'm one 

Am    C        D        F
My mother was a tailor
Am            C           E       E7
She sewed my new blue jeans
       Am    C         D            E7
My father was a gambling man 
     Am      E7     Am      C D F Am E Am E7 
Down in New Orleans 


Am           C             D               F
And the only thing a gambler needs 
Am        C          E            E7
Is a suitcase and a trunk 
        Am         C      D       E7
And the only time he's satisfied 
     Am        E7        Am      C D F Am E Am E7 C D F Am E Am E7 
Is when he's all a-drunk 

Am               C             D         F
So mothers, please tell your children
Am           C         E        E7 
Not to do what I've done 
          Am      C     D            E7
Spend your life in sin and misery, 
          Am              E7         Am     C D F Am E Am E7 
in the house of the Rising Sun 

Am        C           D            F
I've got one foot on the platform 
Am           C         E     E7
The other foot on the train 
      Am      C          D       E7
I'm going back to New Orleans 
        Am       E7            Am      C D F Am E Am E7  
To wear the ball and chain 


           Am            C             D       F
 Well, There is a house in New Orleans, 
Am                C         E     E7 
They call the Rising Sun 
       Am               C         D                  E7 
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy 
        Am             E7         Am        C D F Am E Am E7
And God,     I know I'm one
