CITY OF NEW ORLEANS

INTRO: G D C 
C            G               C
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans
Am               F              C
Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail
                 G                C         
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Am                         G               C >>>>RIFF TO Am  A—3-2-0-|    
Three conductors and twenty-four sacks of mail
Am                                    Em
All along the southbound odyssey the train rolls out of Kankakee
G                                   D      
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Am                                    Em
Passin' trains that have no name and freight yards full of old black men
            G                         C >>>>>>>RIFF TO F D---0-2-3-|
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles                 A-3-------|

CHORUS:                                                
F                          C >>>RIFF TO Am A—3-2-0
Good mornin' America, how are you?
     Am            F            C        G
Say don't you know me? I'm your native son
       C                    G     Am       D7                           
I'm a train they call the City of New Orleans
          F                G                     C         
I'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done

         C              G               C 
Dealin' cards with the old men on the club car
Am                  F                C        
Penny a point ain’t no one keepin' score
G        C               G                   C
Hey now pass that paper bag that holds the bottle
         Am            G              C >>>RIFF TO Am A—3-2-0
Feel the wheels a-rumblin' neath the floor
         Am                               Em
And the sons of poor men porters and the sons of engineers
            G                             D
Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel
Am                               Em
Mothers with their babes asleep rockin' to the gentle beat
         G             G7                C >>>>>>>RIFF TO F D---0-2-3-|
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel                A-3-------|

CHORUS:                                                
F                          C >>>RIFF TO Am A—3-2-0
Good mornin' America, how are you?
     Am            F            C        G
Say don't you know me? I'm your native son
       C                    G     Am       D7                           
I'm a train they call the City of New Orleans
          F                G                     C         
I'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done
C                  G             C
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Am                F             C
Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee
C                 G                   C
Halfway home and we'll be there by mornin'
          Am                    G                  C >>>RIFF TO Am A—3-2-0 
Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea
    Am                                Em
And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
          G                               D
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
    Am                                   Em
The conductor sings his song again the passengers will please refrain
      G                    F                  C
This train has got the disappearin' railroad blues

CHORUS:                                                
F                          C >>>RIFF TO Am A—3-2-0
Good mornin' America, how are you?
     Am            F            C        G
Say don't you know me? I'm your native son
       C                    G     Am       D7                           
I'm a train they call the City of New Orleans
          F                G                     C         
I'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done

CHORUS:                                                
F                          C >>>RIFF TO Am A—3-2-0
Good mornin' America, how are you?
     Am            F            C        G
Say don't you know me? I'm your native son
       C                    G     Am       D7                           
I'm a train they call the City of New Orleans
          F                G                     C         
I'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done
          F                G                     C         
I'll be gone five-hundred miles when the day is done
