Intro
A
[Verse 1]
A E A
Riding on the City of New Orleans
F#m D A E
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
A E A
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
F#m E A
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
F#m C#m
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee
E B
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
F#m C#m
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
E E7 A
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
D E A
Good morning America, how are you?
F#m D A
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
E7 A E F#m B7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
G D E A
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
A E A
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
F#m D A E
Penny a point, ain't no one keeping score
A E A
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
F#m E A
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
F#m C#m
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
E B
Ride their fathers' magic carpets made of steel
F#m C#m
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat
E E7 A
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.
[Chorus]
D E A
Good morning America, how are you?
F#m D A
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
E7 A E F#m B7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
G D E A
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
A E A
Night time on the City of New Orleans
F#m D A E
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
A E A
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning
F#m E A
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea.
F#m C#m
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
E B
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
F#m C#m
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
E E7 A
This train got the disappearing railroad blues.
[Chorus]
D E A
Good night America, how are you?
F#m D A
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
E7 A E F#m B7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
G D E A
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
