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