Verse

F#              C#        F#
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans

Ebm               B             F#
Illinois Central, Monday mornin' rail

F#        C#         F#
15 cars & 15 restless riders

Ebm              C#             F#
Three conductors, 25 sacks of mail

Bridge

     Ebm                                               Bb
All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee

C#                               Ab
Rolls along past houses, farms & fields

Ebm                                Bb
Passin' graves that have no name, freight yards full of old black men

             C#             C#sus4   F#
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles

Chorus

B              C#         F#
  Good mornin' America, how are you?

Ebm                 B             F#
Don't you know me? I'm your native son!

         F#                C#           F#
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans

          E    B    C#                  F#
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done




Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car
Penny a point, ain't no one keepin' score
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
And feel the wheels rumblin' neath the floor

And the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers
Ride their fathers' magic carpets made of steel
Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

Good mornin' America, how are you?
Say don't you know me? I'm your native son!
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans.
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.

Night time on the City of New Orleans
Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Halfway home, we'll be there by mornin'
Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea

But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again
"The passengers will please refrain:
This train got the disappea rin' railroad blues

Good night America, how are you?
Say don't you know me? I'm your native son!
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans.
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
