Intro
G
[Verse 1]
G D G
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Em C G D
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
G D G
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Em D G
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
Em Bm
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee
D A
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Em Bm
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
D D7 G
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
C D G
Good morning America, how are you?
Em C G
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
D7 G D Em A7
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
Em C G D
Penny a point, ain't no one keeping score
G D G
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Em D G
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
Em Bm
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
D A
Ride their fathers' magic carpets made of steel
Em Bm
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat
D D7 G
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.
[Chorus]
C D G
Good morning America, how are you?
Em C G
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
D7 G D Em A7
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
Em C G D
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
G D G
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning
Em D G
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea.
Em Bm
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
Em Bm
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
D D7 G
This train got the disappearing railroad blues.
[Chorus]
C D G
Good night America, how are you?
Em C G
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.
D7 G D Em A7
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.
