[Verse 1]
F C7 C/G F F
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
Dm A# F F
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail,
F C7 F F
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
Dm C7 F F
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Bridge 1]
Dm Dm
All along the southbound odyssey,
Am Am
The train pulls out at Kankakee,
C7 C/G G G
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
Dm Dm
Passing trains that have no names,
Am Am
Freight yards full of old black men,
C7 C/G F F
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A7sus4 C7 F F
Good morning America, how are you?
Dm A#m F
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
C7 F C7 Dm Gm G7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
D#m7 A#/D C7 C/G F F F F
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
F C7 F
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car;
Dm A# F
Penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.
F C7 F
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
Dm C7 F
You can feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor.
[Bridge 2]
Dm
And the sons of Pullman porters,
Am
And the sons of engineers,
C7 G
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel.
Dm
Mothers with their babes asleep
Am
Go rocking to the gentle beat,
C7 C/G F
The rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
[Chorus ]
A7sus4 C7 F
Good morning America, how are you?
Dm A#m F
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
C7 F C7 Dm Gm G7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
D#m7 A#/D C7 C/G F F F F
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
F C7 C/G F
Night time on the City of New Orleans;
Dm A7sus4 F
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
F C7 C/G F
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning,
Dm C7 C/G F F
With the Mississipi does his rolling down to the sea.
[Bridge 3]
Dm
And all the towns and people seem
Am
To fade into a bad dream
C7 G
Steel rails, still ain't heard the news.
Dm
Conductor sings this songs again,
Am
Passengers will please refrain,
C7 C/G F
This train's got to disappear in railroad blue.
[Outro]
A7sus4 C7 F
Good night America, how are you?
Dm A#m F
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son.
C7 F C7 Dm Gm G7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
D#m7 A#/D C7 C/G F F F F F F F F
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
