Intro
C C C C
[Verse 1]
C G7 G/D C C
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
Am F C C
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail,
C G7 C C
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
Am G7 C C
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Bridge 1]
Am Am
All along the southbound odyssey,
Em Em
The train pulls out at Kankakee,
G7 G/D D D
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
Am Am
Passing trains that have no names,
Em Em
Freight yards full of old black men,
G7 G/D C C
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A7sus4 G7 C C
Good morning America, how are you?
Am Fm C
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
G7 C G7 Am Dm D7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
A#m7 F/A G7 G/D C C C C
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
C G7 C
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car;
Am F C
Penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.
C G7 C
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
Am G7 C
You can feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor.
[Bridge 2]
Am
And the sons of Pullman porters,
Em
And the sons of engineers,
G7 D
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel.
Am
Mothers with their babes asleep
Em
Go rocking to the gentle beat,
G7 G/D C
The rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
[Chorus ]
A7sus4 G7 C
Good morning America, how are you?
Am Fm C
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
G7 C G7 Am Dm D7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
A#m7 F/A G7 G/D C C C C
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
C G7 G/D C
Night time on the City of New Orleans;
Am A7sus4 C
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
C G7 G/D C
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning,
Am G7 G/D C C
With the Mississipi does his rolling down to the sea.
[Bridge 3]
Am
And all the towns and people seem
Em
To fade into a bad dream
G7 D
Steel rails, still ain't heard the news.
Am
Conductor sings this songs again,
Em
Passengers will please refrain,
G7 G/D C
This train's got to disappear in railroad blue.
[Outro]
A7sus4 G7 C
Good night America, how are you?
Am Fm C
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son.
G7 C G7 Am Dm D7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
A#m7 F/A G7 G/D C C C C C C C C
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
