There is a house in charming town
Fm G# C
they call the rising sun
Fm G# Bb C#
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
Fm C Fm
And me oh god I'm one
Fm G# Bb
If I'd listened to my mama
Fm G# C
Lord I'd be home today
Fm G# Bb
But I was young and foolish
Fm C Fm
And some rider led me astray
Fm G# C
Never do what I have done
Fm G# Bb C#
To shun the house in charming town
Fm C Fm
They call the rising sun
Fm G# Bb
My mother she's a tailor
Fm G# C
She sewed my new blue jeans
Fm G# Bb C#
My sweetheart he's a rambler
Fm C Fm
Lord he rides an old machine
SOLO
Fm G# Bb
Now the only thing a rambler needs
Fm G# C
is a suitcase and a gun
Fm G# Bb C#
The only time he's satisfied
Fm C Fm
is when he's on the run
Fm G# Bb
He fills his chamber up with lead
Fm G# C
And takes his pain to town
Fm G# Bb C#
The only pleasure he gets out of life
Fm C Fm
is bringing another man down

Fm G# Bb
He's got one hand on the throttle
Fm G# C
the other on the brake
Fm G# B C#
He's riding back to Redwood
Fm C Fm
to own his fathers' stake

And here I wait in charming town

I'm staying here to end my life
Fm C Fm
down in the rising sun
Fm G# Bb C#
I'm staying here to end my life
Fm C Fm
down in the rising sun
