Intro
D#
[Verse 1]
D# A# D#
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Cm G# D# A#
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
D# A# D#
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Cm A# D#
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
Cm Gm
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee
A# F
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Cm Gm
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
A# A#7 D#
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
G# A# D#
Good morning America, how are you?
Cm G# D#
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
A#7 D# A# Cm F7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
C# G# A# D#
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
D# A# D#
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
Cm G# D# A#
Penny a point, ain't no one keeping score
D# A# D#
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Cm A# D#
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
Cm Gm
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
A# F
Ride their fathers' magic carpets made of steel
Cm Gm
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat
A# A#7 D#
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.
[Chorus]
G# A# D#
Good morning America, how are you?
Cm G# D#
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
A#7 D# A# Cm F7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
C# G# A# D#
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
D# A# D#
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Cm G# D# A#
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
D# A# D#
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning
Cm A# D#
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea.
Cm Gm
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
A# F
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
Cm Gm
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
A# A#7 D#
This train got the disappearing railroad blues.
[Chorus]
G# A# D#
Good night America, how are you?
Cm G# D#
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
A#7 D# A# Cm F7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
C# G# A# D#
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
