Orig.: A#
G D G
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans
Em C G
Illinois Central, Monday mornin' rail
G D G
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Em D G
Three conductors and twentyfour sacks of mail
Em
All along the southbound odyssey the train rolls out of Kankakee
D A
And moves along past houses, farms and fields
Em Bm
Passin' trains that have no name and switchyards full of old black men
D G
And graveyards full of rusted automobiles
C D G
Good mornin' America, how are you?
Em C G
Say don't you know me? I'm your native son!
D G D Em
I'm a train they call the City of New Orleans
A7 F A D G
I'll be gone fivehundred miles when the day is done
G D G
Dealin' cards with an old man on the club car
Em C G
Penny a point, nobody's keepin' score
G D G
Hey now pass that paper bag that holds the bottle
Em D G
And feel the wheels a-rumblin' 'neath the floor
Em
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
D A
Ride their daddys' magic carpet made of steel
Em Bm
Mothers with their babes a-sleep, rockin' to that gentle beat
D G
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
C D G
Good mornin' America, how are you?
Em C G
Say don't you know me? I'm your native son!
D G D Em
I'm a train they call the City of New Orleans
A7 F A D G
I'll be gone fivehundred miles when the day is done
G D G
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Em C G
Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee
G D G
Halfway home an' we'll be there by mornin'
Em D G
Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea
Em
And all the towns and the people seem to fade into a bad dream
D A
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
Em Bm
The conductor sings his song again "The passengers will please refrain:
D G
This train's got the disappearin' railroad blues
C D G
Good mornin' America, how are you?
Em C G
Say don't you know me? I'm your native son!
D G D Em
I'm a train they call the City of New Orleans
A7 F A D G
I'll be gone fivehundred miles when the day is done
A7 F A D G
I'll be gone fivehundred miles when the day is done
