House of the Rising Sun (Arpeggio)

"The House of the Rising Sun" is a folk song from the United States. Also called "House of the Rising Sun" or occasionally "Rising Sun Blues", it tells of a life gone wrong in New Orleans. The best-known rendition of the song is by the English group The Animals in 1964, which was a number one hit in both the United States and United Kingdom. Other artists have covered the song, and it has been a standard cover for at least four decades by bar bands and major recording artists alike. One of the best known new versions is played by Muse.
