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