week 7

This week at the studio i was practicing the chords for my sixty’s piece "house of the rising sun" by The Animals on the piano and the organ they have at the studio.  My tutor wasn’t in this week so he had somebody to hold the fort while he was away touring like u do when ur a musician. I felt that i had learnt a lot with this guy who was filling in for my tutor. My tutor had introduced me before to him during the earlier sessions and i knew he would be a useful asset to my training to help me finish my practicing for the song however once we started writing down the actual lyrics and understanding the song we played it over and over again in till i eventually managed to nail the piece of music however there is still more practice to be done with remembering the notes for the track when we record our music takes and this is what i shall do at home with my midi keyboard and amp.    




the original piece of lyrics that we first posted wernt correct however me and the other lad filling in took a listen to the lyrics and found out that some of the words were not correct so we looked at the fist piece of lyrics and changed them. Below are the correct lyrics  


HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN (LYRICS)



Am          C           D     F
There is a house in New Orleans
Am              C        E7
They call the Rising Sun
Am                    C         D                 F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Am           E            Am          E7
And God I know I'm one


My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's drunk

------ SOLO ------  (ROLLED NOTES)

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
