Intro
G# for 2 bars
G# D# G#
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Fm C# G#
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 Kenkakee
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 rusted automobiles???Chorus
[Chorus]
C# D#7 G#
Good morning America, how are you? (night at 3rd chorus)
Fm C# G# D#7 D#9
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
G# D# Fm Fm7 A#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
Cb C# D# D#9 G#
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
G# D# G#
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
Fm C# G#
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 rumbling 'neath the floor
Fm Cm
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
D# A#
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
Fm Cm
Mothers with their babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat
D# D#7 G#
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel???Chorus
G# D# G#
Nightime on the City of New Orleans
Fm C# G#
Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
G# D# G#
Half way 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
