The rest of the this song follows the same picking pattern for different chords.  Here are the chords for the verses:

Am    C    D    F    Am    C    E    E

Am    C    D    F    Am    E
  
Am    C    D    F    Am    E    Am    E

Pick these in the same pattern as you did when playing the intro.
And that's the entire song!

Songs like this are great for new guitar players since they are so easy to play (repetitave) and sound really great.
This House of the rising sun guitar tab is very easy to play.  This classic song is basically a string by string picking (or arpeggio) of the basic guitar chords of Am, C, D, F and E.
