Here’s a simple pattern that will work well across pretty much the whole song…
Ok, so you’ve played through the strumming version, now you want to get a little fingerpicking in there. Here’s that with the lyrics… Fingerpicking Pattern The song is built up from an intro, 6 verses, a couple of interludes and an outro.

To play through House Of The Rising Sun you’ll need just 5 chords: Am, C, D, F, and E. If you manage to get through that, I’ve got something for the intermediated to advanced players out there too.
