I've got the chords down to House of the Rising Sun so I'd like to add the melody.
Here's a version (on YouTube) that I found that incorporates the melody into the (sweeping of the) chords.
Can someone tell me where I can get the tabs or sheet music for this version?

or any version that has the melody built into the chords?
Thanks
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
He's just arpegiating the chord tones if you already have the chords it shouldn't be a big deal to do the same thing he's doing
"It's all about stickin it to the man!"
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!

Huh?
You're speaking to a dummy here,

Arpegiating a chord means to play less than all of the strings at once. Instead of playing a chord bystrumming all of the strings at once, play each string separately, in succession. For example, if you want to arpegiate an open E chord, instead of playing all 6 strings at once, finger the whole open E chord and first play the 6th string as a single note, then play the note on the 5th string, then the 4th, etc. You can arpegiate a chord and play one string at a time, in any order that sounds good to you.
Watch the video again, this time pay very close attention to only the picking hand. You should get what he is doing. He moves his left hand from chord to chord and with his right, he plays each chord in an by arpegiating it.
No, I can already do that.
And that doesn't give me the melody.
Although there is a connection to the notes in the chord and the melody.
Some of the notes in the chords are part of the melody . . . but not all.
It's that connection that I'm looking for.
I can do the arpeggio thingy. I've been practicing that for weeks.
Now I'm ready to add the melody.
Here's another (better) idea of what I'm after
