Intro: D

D A D
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Bm G D D
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
D A D
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Bm A D
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
Bm
All a - long the south bound odyssey, -

the F#m train pulls out of Kenkakee
A E
Rolls along past houses farms and fields
Bm
Passing trains that have no name, -
F#m
freight yards of old black men
A A7 D
And graveyards of rusted automo - biles.

Chorus:
G A7 D
Good morning A - merica, how are you?
Bm G D A7
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son. - I'm
D A Bm Bm/A - E7 / Ab
the train they call the City of New Orleans
C G A D D
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.


D A D
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
Bm G D D
Penny a point ain't no one keeping score
D A D
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Bm A D
Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor
Bm F#m
And the sons of Pullman porters - and the sons of engineers
A E
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
Bm F#m
Mother with her babes asleep - rocking to the gentle beat
A A7 D
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

G A7 D
Good morning A - merica, how are you?

D A D
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Bm G D D
Changing cars in Memphis Tennes - see
D A D
Halfway home we'll be there by morning
Bm A D
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea.
Bm F#m
But all the towns and people seem - to fade into a dark dream
A E
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
Bm F#m
The con - ductor sings his songs again, - the passengers will please refrain
A A7 D
This train got the disap - pearing railroad blues.
