Intro
E for 2 bars
E B E
Riding on the City of New Orleans
C#m A E
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
E B E
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
C#m B E
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
C#m G#m
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kenkakee
B F#
Rolls along past houses farms and fields
C#m G#m
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
B B7 E
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles???Chorus
[Chorus]
A B7 E
Good morning America, how are you? (night at 3rd chorus)
C#m A E B7 B9
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
E B C#m C#m7 F#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
G A B B9 E
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
E B E
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
C#m A E
Penny a point ain't no one keeping score
E B E
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
C#m B E
Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor
C#m G#m
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
B F#
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
C#m G#m
Mothers with their babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat
B B7 E
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel???Chorus
E B E
Nightime on the City of New Orleans
C#m A E
Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
E B E
Half way home we'll be there by morning
C#m B E
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
C#m G#m
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
B F#
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
C#m G#m
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
B B7 E
This train got the disappearing railroad blues???Chorus
