Intro
B B B B
[Verse 1]
B F#7 F#/C# B B
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
G#m E B B
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail,
B F#7 B B
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
G#m F#7 B B
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Bridge 1]
G#m G#m
All along the southbound odyssey,
D#m D#m
The train pulls out at Kankakee,
F#7 F#/C# C# C#
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
G#m G#m
Passing trains that have no names,
D#m D#m
Freight yards full of old black men,
F#7 F#/C# B B
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A7sus4 F#7 B B
Good morning America, how are you?
G#m Em B
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
F#7 B F#7 G#m C#m C#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Am7 E/G# F#7 F#/C# B B B B
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
B F#7 B
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car;
G#m E B
Penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.
B F#7 B
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
G#m F#7 B
You can feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor.
[Bridge 2]
G#m
And the sons of Pullman porters,
D#m
And the sons of engineers,
F#7 C#
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel.
G#m
Mothers with their babes asleep
D#m
Go rocking to the gentle beat,
F#7 F#/C# B
The rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
[Chorus ]
A7sus4 F#7 B
Good morning America, how are you?
G#m Em B
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
F#7 B F#7 G#m C#m C#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Am7 E/G# F#7 F#/C# B B B B
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
B F#7 F#/C# B
Night time on the City of New Orleans;
G#m A7sus4 B
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
B F#7 F#/C# B
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning,
G#m F#7 F#/C# B B
With the Mississipi does his rolling down to the sea.
[Bridge 3]
G#m
And all the towns and people seem
D#m
To fade into a bad dream
F#7 C#
Steel rails, still ain't heard the news.
G#m
Conductor sings this songs again,
D#m
Passengers will please refrain,
F#7 F#/C# B
This train's got to disappear in railroad blue.
[Outro]
A7sus4 F#7 B
Good night America, how are you?
G#m Em B
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son.
F#7 B F#7 G#m C#m C#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Am7 E/G# F#7 F#/C# B B B B B B B B
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
