Intro
A# A# A# A#
[Verse 1]
A# F7 F/C A# A#
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
Gm D# A# A#
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail,
A# F7 A# A#
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
Gm F7 A# A#
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Bridge 1]
Gm Gm
All along the southbound odyssey,
Dm Dm
The train pulls out at Kankakee,
F7 F/C C C
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
Gm Gm
Passing trains that have no names,
Dm Dm
Freight yards full of old black men,
F7 F/C A# A#
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A7sus4 F7 A# A#
Good morning America, how are you?
Gm D#m A#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
F7 A# F7 Gm Cm C7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
G#m7 D#/G F7 F/C A# A# A# A#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
A# F7 A#
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car;
Gm D# A#
Penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.
A# F7 A#
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
Gm F7 A#
You can feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor.
[Bridge 2]
Gm
And the sons of Pullman porters,
Dm
And the sons of engineers,
F7 C
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel.
Gm
Mothers with their babes asleep
Dm
Go rocking to the gentle beat,
F7 F/C A#
The rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
[Chorus ]
A7sus4 F7 A#
Good morning America, how are you?
Gm D#m A#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
F7 A# F7 Gm Cm C7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
G#m7 D#/G F7 F/C A# A# A# A#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
A# F7 F/C A#
Night time on the City of New Orleans;
Gm A7sus4 A#
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
A# F7 F/C A#
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning,
Gm F7 F/C A# A#
With the Mississipi does his rolling down to the sea.
[Bridge 3]
Gm
And all the towns and people seem
Dm
To fade into a bad dream
F7 C
Steel rails, still ain't heard the news.
Gm
Conductor sings this songs again,
Dm
Passengers will please refrain,
F7 F/C A#
This train's got to disappear in railroad blue.
[Outro]
A7sus4 F7 A#
Good night America, how are you?
Gm D#m A#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son.
F7 A# F7 Gm Cm C7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
G#m7 D#/G F7 F/C A# A# A# A# A# A# A# A#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
