Here are the chord substitutions that I use to play the 1964 Animals' hit The House of the Rising Sun. The song was originally introduced in 1937 with historian Alan Lomax's recording of Middlesboro, Kentucky's Georgia Turner Rising Sun Blues. Later, Lomax published the song in his 1941 Our Singing Country and it soon became a staple of 1940's New York City folk music. I play the song in a steady 4/4 beat and not the 6/8 tempo of the original hit recording. You will want compare my changes to the original progression for comparison. The opening progression pedals on the A bass note. For variation, you may want to try substituting the "Esus4" for the last "E11" chord. The chord fingerings I use (in a Standard tuning) are as follows: Am7 = x05555; Bm7/A = x07777; Fma77/A = x03555; E11 = 077777; and Esus4 = 022200.
