Intro
F# F# F# F#
[Verse 1]
F# C#7 C#/G# F# F#
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
D#m B F# F#
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail,
F# C#7 F# F#
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
D#m C#7 F# F#
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Bridge 1]
D#m D#m
All along the southbound odyssey,
A#m A#m
The train pulls out at Kankakee,
C#7 C#/G# G# G#
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
D#m D#m
Passing trains that have no names,
A#m A#m
Freight yards full of old black men,
C#7 C#/G# F# F#
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A7sus4 C#7 F# F#
Good morning America, how are you?
D#m Bm F#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
C#7 F# C#7 D#m G#m G#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Em7 B/D# C#7 C#/G# F# F# F# F#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
F# C#7 F#
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car;
D#m B F#
Penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.
F# C#7 F#
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
D#m C#7 F#
You can feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor.
[Bridge 2]
D#m
And the sons of Pullman porters,
A#m
And the sons of engineers,
C#7 G#
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel.
D#m
Mothers with their babes asleep
A#m
Go rocking to the gentle beat,
C#7 C#/G# F#
The rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
[Chorus ]
A7sus4 C#7 F#
Good morning America, how are you?
D#m Bm F#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
C#7 F# C#7 D#m G#m G#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Em7 B/D# C#7 C#/G# F# F# F# F#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
F# C#7 C#/G# F#
Night time on the City of New Orleans;
D#m A7sus4 F#
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
F# C#7 C#/G# F#
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning,
D#m C#7 C#/G# F# F#
With the Mississipi does his rolling down to the sea.
[Bridge 3]
D#m
And all the towns and people seem
A#m
To fade into a bad dream
C#7 G#
Steel rails, still ain't heard the news.
D#m
Conductor sings this songs again,
A#m
Passengers will please refrain,
C#7 C#/G# F#
This train's got to disappear in railroad blue.
[Outro]
A7sus4 C#7 F#
Good night America, how are you?
D#m Bm F#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son.
C#7 F# C#7 D#m G#m G#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Em7 B/D# C#7 C#/G# F# F# F# F# F# F# F# F#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
