Intro
E E E E
[Verse 1]
E B7 B/F# E E
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
C#m A E E
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail,
E B7 E E
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
C#m B7 E E
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Bridge 1]
C#m C#m
All along the southbound odyssey,
G#m G#m
The train pulls out at Kankakee,
B7 B/F# F# F#
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
C#m C#m
Passing trains that have no names,
G#m G#m
Freight yards full of old black men,
B7 B/F# E E
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A7sus4 B7 E E
Good morning America, how are you?
C#m Am E
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
B7 E B7 C#m F#m F#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Dm7 A/C# B7 B/F# E E E E
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
E B7 E
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car;
C#m A E
Penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.
E B7 E
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
C#m B7 E
You can feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor.
[Bridge 2]
C#m
And the sons of Pullman porters,
G#m
And the sons of engineers,
B7 F#
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel.
C#m
Mothers with their babes asleep
G#m
Go rocking to the gentle beat,
B7 B/F# E
The rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
[Chorus ]
A7sus4 B7 E
Good morning America, how are you?
C#m Am E
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
B7 E B7 C#m F#m F#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Dm7 A/C# B7 B/F# E E E E
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
E B7 B/F# E
Night time on the City of New Orleans;
C#m A7sus4 E
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
E B7 B/F# E
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning,
C#m B7 B/F# E E
With the Mississipi does his rolling down to the sea.
[Bridge 3]
C#m
And all the towns and people seem
G#m
To fade into a bad dream
B7 F#
Steel rails, still ain't heard the news.
C#m
Conductor sings this songs again,
G#m
Passengers will please refrain,
B7 B/F# E
This train's got to disappear in railroad blue.
[Outro]
A7sus4 B7 E
Good night America, how are you?
C#m Am E
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son.
B7 E B7 C#m F#m F#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Dm7 A/C# B7 B/F# E E E E E E E E
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
