Intro
C# C# C# C#
[Verse 1]
C# G#7 G#/D# C# C#
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
A#m F# C# C#
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail,
C# G#7 C# C#
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
A#m G#7 C# C#
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Bridge 1]
A#m A#m
All along the southbound odyssey,
Fm Fm
The train pulls out at Kankakee,
G#7 G#/D# D# D#
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
A#m A#m
Passing trains that have no names,
Fm Fm
Freight yards full of old black men,
G#7 G#/D# C# C#
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A7sus4 G#7 C# C#
Good morning America, how are you?
A#m F#m C#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
G#7 C# G#7 A#m D#m D#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Bm7 F#/A# G#7 G#/D# C# C# C# C#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
C# G#7 C#
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car;
A#m F# C#
Penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.
C# G#7 C#
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
A#m G#7 C#
You can feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor.
[Bridge 2]
A#m
And the sons of Pullman porters,
Fm
And the sons of engineers,
G#7 D#
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel.
A#m
Mothers with their babes asleep
Fm
Go rocking to the gentle beat,
G#7 G#/D# C#
The rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
[Chorus ]
A7sus4 G#7 C#
Good morning America, how are you?
A#m F#m C#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
G#7 C# G#7 A#m D#m D#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Bm7 F#/A# G#7 G#/D# C# C# C# C#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
C# G#7 G#/D# C#
Night time on the City of New Orleans;
A#m A7sus4 C#
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
C# G#7 G#/D# C#
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning,
A#m G#7 G#/D# C# C#
With the Mississipi does his rolling down to the sea.
[Bridge 3]
A#m
And all the towns and people seem
Fm
To fade into a bad dream
G#7 D#
Steel rails, still ain't heard the news.
A#m
Conductor sings this songs again,
Fm
Passengers will please refrain,
G#7 G#/D# C#
This train's got to disappear in railroad blue.
[Outro]
A7sus4 G#7 C#
Good night America, how are you?
A#m F#m C#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son.
G#7 C# G#7 A#m D#m D#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Bm7 F#/A# G#7 G#/D# C# C# C# C# C# C# C# C#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
