Intro
A A A A
[Verse 1]
A E7 E/B A A
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
F#m D A A
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail,
A E7 A A
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
F#m E7 A A
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Bridge 1]
F#m F#m
All along the southbound odyssey,
C#m C#m
The train pulls out at Kankakee,
E7 E/B B B
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
F#m F#m
Passing trains that have no names,
C#m C#m
Freight yards full of old black men,
E7 E/B A A
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A7sus4 E7 A A
Good morning America, how are you?
F#m Dm A
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
E7 A E7 F#m Bm B7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Gm7 D/F# E7 E/B A A A A
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
A E7 A
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car;
F#m D A
Penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.
A E7 A
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
F#m E7 A
You can feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor.
[Bridge 2]
F#m
And the sons of Pullman porters,
C#m
And the sons of engineers,
E7 B
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel.
F#m
Mothers with their babes asleep
C#m
Go rocking to the gentle beat,
E7 E/B A
The rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
[Chorus ]
A7sus4 E7 A
Good morning America, how are you?
F#m Dm A
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
E7 A E7 F#m Bm B7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Gm7 D/F# E7 E/B A A A A
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
A E7 E/B A
Night time on the City of New Orleans;
F#m A7sus4 A
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
A E7 E/B A
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning,
F#m E7 E/B A A
With the Mississipi does his rolling down to the sea.
[Bridge 3]
F#m
And all the towns and people seem
C#m
To fade into a bad dream
E7 B
Steel rails, still ain't heard the news.
F#m
Conductor sings this songs again,
C#m
Passengers will please refrain,
E7 E/B A
This train's got to disappear in railroad blue.
[Outro]
A7sus4 E7 A
Good night America, how are you?
F#m Dm A
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son.
E7 A E7 F#m Bm B7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
Gm7 D/F# E7 E/B A A A A A A A A
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
