Intro
D# for 2 bars
D# A# D#
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Cm G# D#
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
D# A# D#
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Cm A# D#
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
Cm Gm
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kenkakee
A# F
Rolls along past houses farms and fields
Cm Gm
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
A# A#7 D#
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles???Chorus
[Chorus]
G# A#7 D#
Good morning America, how are you? (night at 3rd chorus)
Cm G# D# A#7 A#9
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
D# A# Cm Cm7 F7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
Gb G# A# A#9 D#
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
D# A# D#
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
Cm G# D#
Penny a point ain't no one keeping score
D# A# D#
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Cm A# D#
Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor
Cm Gm
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
A# F
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
Cm Gm
Mothers with their babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat
A# A#7 D#
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel???Chorus
D# A# D#
Nightime on the City of New Orleans
Cm G# D#
Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
D# A# D#
Half way home we'll be there by morning
Cm A# D#
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
Cm Gm
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
A# F
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
Cm Gm
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
A# A#7 D#
This train got the disappearing railroad blues???Chorus
