Intro
A#
[Verse 1]
A# F A#
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Gm D# A# F
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
A# F A#
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Gm F A#
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
Gm Dm
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee
F C
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Gm Dm
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
F F7 A#
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
D# F A#
Good morning America, how are you?
Gm D# A#
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
F7 A# F Gm C7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
G# D# F A#
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
A# F A#
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
Gm D# A# F
Penny a point, ain't no one keeping score
A# F A#
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Gm F A#
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
Gm Dm
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
F C
Ride their fathers' magic carpets made of steel
Gm Dm
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat
F F7 A#
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.
[Chorus]
D# F A#
Good morning America, how are you?
Gm D# A#
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
F7 A# F Gm C7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
G# D# F A#
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
A# F A#
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Gm D# A# F
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
A# F A#
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning
Gm F A#
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea.
Gm Dm
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
Gm Dm
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
F F7 A#
This train got the disappearing railroad blues.
[Chorus]
D# F A#
Good night America, how are you?
Gm D# A#
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
F7 A# F Gm C7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
G# D# F A#
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
