INTRO  GUITAR STRUMMING THEN ALL COME IN ON A CHORD 

D 
She just jumped on a plane Paid no attention to me  
                                              E 
Gave me no notice But her goodbyes sure were sweet 
 A 
Said she's gonna write Maybe call me up 
     D 
She checked her bags And then she broke my heart 
     A                   E     
She kissed my cheek And told me not to keep in touch 

            D                             A 
I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away 
     D                             A 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away 
     D 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl 
N.C. E 
I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again 
     D               E             A 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away 

Now we're apart I think about her everyday 
Well the scuffle of little feet All round the bed 
I'm gettin' no cards, gettin' no mail My girl ain’t on the telephone 
If she don't come home I know that's where I'm gonna go 

Chorus 

BRIDGE 
         D 
They're buying our beaches Sellin' transistors 
 A 
Them little folk look real big 
 D 
If they think that they can take her away 
           E              A 
I'm gonna steal her back again . . . Shake! 

SOLO LIKE VERSE PIANO THEN GUITAR 

I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl 
Gonna catch a plane and steal her back again 
The Rising Sun just stole my girl away   

REPEAT Chorus AND END
