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