Intro
C for 2 bars
C G C
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Am F C
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
C G C
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Am G C
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
Am Em
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kenkakee
G D
Rolls along past houses farms and fields
Am Em
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
G G7 C
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles???Chorus
[Chorus]
F G7 C
Good morning America, how are you? (night at 3rd chorus)
Am F C G7 G9
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
C G Am Am7 D7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
Eb F G G9 C
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
C G C
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
Am F C
Penny a point ain't no one keeping score
C G C
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Am G C
Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor
Am Em
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
G D
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
Am Em
Mothers with their babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat
G G7 C
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel???Chorus
C G C
Nightime on the City of New Orleans
Am F C
Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
C G C
Half way home we'll be there by morning
Am G C
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
Am Em
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
G D
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
Am Em
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
G G7 C
This train got the disappearing railroad blues???Chorus
