alt-J - House Of The Rising Sun: chords

      Bm   G/B       D
There is a house in New Orleans
     F#m      D/F#    G
They call the Rising Sun
         Bm       G/B           D
And it's been the ruin of many poor souls
    F#m      D/F#      G
And lord, my father is one

   F#m             E
My mother, she's a tailor
     E           G        D
She sews those blue blue jeans
    Bm               D
To keep my gambling father drunk
     F#m     D/F#   G
Deep down in New Orleans

Chorus:
G                     F#            D        G
It's a happy, happy, happy, happy, fun day, day

Like a bird flying over forest fire
My father feels the heat beneath his wings
And in debt he leaves for another town
Where he gambles and, drunk, he still drinks

My mother hides from pleasure
And thinks of Father on her knees
Lifted in the arms of God
Away from New Orleans

Chorus:
Happy happy happy happy fun day day
Happy happy happy happy fun day day
