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