Intro
D# D# D# D#
[Verse 1]
D# A#7 A#/F D# D#
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
Cm G# D# D#
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail,
D# A#7 D# D#
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
Cm A#7 D# D#
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Bridge 1]
Cm Cm
All along the southbound odyssey,
Gm Gm
The train pulls out at Kankakee,
A#7 A#/F F F
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
Cm Cm
Passing trains that have no names,
Gm Gm
Freight yards full of old black men,
A#7 A#/F D# D#
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A7sus4 A#7 D# D#
Good morning America, how are you?
Cm G#m D#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
A#7 D# A#7 Cm Fm F7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
C#m7 G#/C A#7 A#/F D# D# D# D#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
D# A#7 D#
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car;
Cm G# D#
Penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.
D# A#7 D#
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
Cm A#7 D#
You can feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor.
[Bridge 2]
Cm
And the sons of Pullman porters,
Gm
And the sons of engineers,
A#7 F
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel.
Cm
Mothers with their babes asleep
Gm
Go rocking to the gentle beat,
A#7 A#/F D#
The rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
[Chorus ]
A7sus4 A#7 D#
Good morning America, how are you?
Cm G#m D#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
A#7 D# A#7 Cm Fm F7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
C#m7 G#/C A#7 A#/F D# D# D# D#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
D# A#7 A#/F D#
Night time on the City of New Orleans;
Cm A7sus4 D#
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
D# A#7 A#/F D#
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning,
Cm A#7 A#/F D# D#
With the Mississipi does his rolling down to the sea.
[Bridge 3]
Cm
And all the towns and people seem
Gm
To fade into a bad dream
A#7 F
Steel rails, still ain't heard the news.
Cm
Conductor sings this songs again,
Gm
Passengers will please refrain,
A#7 A#/F D#
This train's got to disappear in railroad blue.
[Outro]
A7sus4 A#7 D#
Good night America, how are you?
Cm G#m D#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son.
A#7 D# A#7 Cm Fm F7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
C#m7 G#/C A#7 A#/F D# D# D# D# D# D# D# D#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
