Intro
F# for 2 bars
F# C# F#
Riding on the City of New Orleans
D#m B F#
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 Kenkakee
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 rusted automobiles???Chorus
[Chorus]
B C#7 F#
Good morning America, how are you? (night at 3rd chorus)
D#m B F# C#7 C#9
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
F# C# D#m D#m7 G#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
A B C# C#9 F#
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
F# C# F#
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
D#m B F#
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 rumbling 'neath the floor
D#m A#m
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
C# G#
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
D#m A#m
Mothers with their babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat
C# C#7 F#
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel???Chorus
F# C# F#
Nightime on the City of New Orleans
D#m B F#
Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
F# C# F#
Half way 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
