[Verse 1]
D A7 A/E D D
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
Bm G D D
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail,
D A7 D D
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
Bm A7 D D
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Bridge 1]
Bm Bm
All along the southbound odyssey,
F#m F#m
The train pulls out at Kankakee,
A7 A/E E E
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
Bm Bm
Passing trains that have no names,
F#m F#m
Freight yards full of old black men,
A7 A/E D D
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A7sus4 A7 D D
Good morning America, how are you?
Bm Gm D
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
A7 D A7 Bm Em E7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Cm7 G/B A7 A/E D D D D
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
D A7 D
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car;
Bm G D
Penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.
D A7 D
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
Bm A7 D
You can feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor.
[Bridge 2]
Bm
And the sons of Pullman porters,
F#m
And the sons of engineers,
A7 E
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel.
Bm
Mothers with their babes asleep
F#m
Go rocking to the gentle beat,
A7 A/E D
The rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
[Chorus ]
A7sus4 A7 D
Good morning America, how are you?
Bm Gm D
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
A7 D A7 Bm Em E7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Cm7 G/B A7 A/E D D D D
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
D A7 A/E D
Night time on the City of New Orleans;
Bm A7sus4 D
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
D A7 A/E D
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning,
Bm A7 A/E D D
With the Mississipi does his rolling down to the sea.
[Bridge 3]
Bm
And all the towns and people seem
F#m
To fade into a bad dream
A7 E
Steel rails, still ain't heard the news.
Bm
Conductor sings this songs again,
F#m
Passengers will please refrain,
A7 A/E D
This train's got to disappear in railroad blue.
[Outro]
A7sus4 A7 D
Good night America, how are you?
Bm Gm D
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son.
A7 D A7 Bm Em E7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Cm7 G/B A7 A/E D D D D D D D D
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
