In the Animals' recording the organ often plays 7th chords,
when the guitar does not.

[Verse 1]
      Am   C        D           F
There is a house in New Orleans
     Am        C      E     E
They call the "Rising Sun"
         Am       C       D             F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am     E        | Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
And God, I know, I'm one               (organ plays E7)

My mother was a tailor (organ: F7)

She sewed my new blue jeans (organ: E7)
   Am     C     D        F
My father was a gambling man

Down in New Orleans.            (organ plays E7)

Now the only thing a gambler needs (organ: F7)

Is a suitcase and a trunk (organ: E7)
        Am   C      D           F
And the only time, he's satisfied,
   Am        E    | Am | C | D | F | Am | E | Am | E |
Is when he's on a drunk              (organ plays E7)
