Intro
E
[Verse 1]
E B E
Riding on the City of New Orleans
C#m A E B
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
E B E
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
C#m B E
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
C#m G#m
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee
B F#
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
C#m G#m
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
B B7 E
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A B E
Good morning America, how are you?
C#m A E
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
B7 E B C#m F#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
D A B E
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
E B E
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
C#m A E B
Penny a point, ain't no one keeping score
E B E
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
C#m B E
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
C#m G#m
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
B F#
Ride their fathers' magic carpets made of steel
C#m G#m
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat
B B7 E
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.
[Chorus]
A B E
Good morning America, how are you?
C#m A E
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
B7 E B C#m F#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
D A B E
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
E B E
Night time on the City of New Orleans
C#m A E B
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
E B E
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning
C#m B E
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea.
C#m G#m
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
B F#
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
C#m G#m
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
B B7 E
This train got the disappearing railroad blues.
[Chorus]
A B E
Good night America, how are you?
C#m A E
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
B7 E B C#m F#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
D A B E
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
