Intro
B for 2 bars
B F# B
Riding on the City of New Orleans
G#m E B
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
B F# B
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
G#m F# B
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
G#m D#m
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kenkakee
F# C#
Rolls along past houses farms and fields
G#m D#m
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
F# F#7 B
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles???Chorus
[Chorus]
E F#7 B
Good morning America, how are you? (night at 3rd chorus)
G#m E B F#7 F#9
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
B F# G#m G#m7 C#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
D E F# F#9 B
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
B F# B
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
G#m E B
Penny a point ain't no one keeping score
B F# B
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
G#m F# B
Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor
G#m D#m
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
F# C#
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
G#m D#m
Mothers with their babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat
F# F#7 B
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel???Chorus
B F# B
Nightime on the City of New Orleans
G#m E B
Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
B F# B
Half way home we'll be there by morning
G#m F# B
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
G#m D#m
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
F# C#
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
G#m D#m
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
F# F#7 B
This train got the disappearing railroad blues???Chorus
