[Verse 1]
G# D#7 D#/A# G# G#
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
Fm C# G# G#
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail,
G# D#7 G# G#
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
Fm D#7 G# G#
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Bridge 1]
Fm Fm
All along the southbound odyssey,
Cm Cm
The train pulls out at Kankakee,
D#7 D#/A# A# A#
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.
Fm Fm
Passing trains that have no names,
Cm Cm
Freight yards full of old black men,
D#7 D#/A# G# G#
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
A7sus4 D#7 G# G#
Good morning America, how are you?
Fm C#m G#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
D#7 G# D#7 Fm A#m A#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
F#m7 C#/F D#7 D#/A# G# G# G# G#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
G# D#7 G#
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car;
Fm C# G#
Penny a point, there ain't no one keeping score.
G# D#7 G#
Won't you pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
Fm D#7 G#
You can feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor.
[Bridge 2]
Fm
And the sons of Pullman porters,
Cm
And the sons of engineers,
D#7 A#
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel.
Fm
Mothers with their babes asleep
Cm
Go rocking to the gentle beat,
D#7 D#/A# G#
The rhythm of the rails is all they dream.
[Chorus ]
A7sus4 D#7 G#
Good morning America, how are you?
Fm C#m G#
Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son
D#7 G# D#7 Fm A#m A#7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,

I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 3]
G# D#7 D#/A# G#
Night time on the City of New Orleans;
Fm A7sus4 G#
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
G# D#7 D#/A# G#
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning,
Fm D#7 D#/A# G# G#
With the Mississipi does his rolling down to the sea.
[Bridge 3]
Fm
And all the towns and people seem
Cm
To fade into a bad dream
D#7 A#
Steel rails, still ain't heard the news.
Fm
Conductor sings this songs again,
Cm
Passengers will please refrain,
D#7 D#/A# G#
This train's got to disappear in railroad blue.
[Outro]
A7sus4 D#7 G#
Good night America, how are you?

Hey don't you know me? I’m your native son.

I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
F#m7 C#/F D#7 D#/A# G# G# G# G# G# G# G# G#
I'll be gone by hundred miles when the day is done.
