Intro
F for 2 bars
F C F
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Dm A# F
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
F C F
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Dm C F
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
Dm Am
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kenkakee
C G
Rolls along past houses farms and fields
Dm Am
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
C C7 F
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles???Chorus
[Chorus]
A# C7 F
Good morning America, how are you? (night at 3rd chorus)
Dm A# F C7 C9
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
F C Dm Dm7 G7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
Ab A# C C9 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
Dm A# F
Penny a point ain't no one keeping score
F C F
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Dm C F
Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor
Dm Am
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
C G
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
Dm Am
Mothers with their babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat
C C7 F
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel???Chorus
F C F
Nightime on the City of New Orleans
Dm A# F
Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
F C F
Half way home we'll be there by morning
Dm C F
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
Dm Am
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
Dm Am
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
C C7 F
This train got the disappearing railroad blues???Chorus
