City Of New Orleans

D                A             D 
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans 
Bm               G             D 
Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail 
D                A               D 
There's 15 cars, and 15 restless riders 
Bm              A              D 
3 conductors and 25 sacks of mail 

Bm                               F#m 
All along a southbound oddyssey, and the train pulls out of Kankakee 
A                                          E 
And rolls along past the houses, farms and fields 
Bm                               F#m 
Passin' towns that have no name, and freightyards full of old grey men 
A                  A7                 D 
The graveyards of the rusted automobiles 


 
G                     A7               D 
Singin' good mornin' America, how are you? 
       Bm                 G               D          A7 
Sayin' don't you know me?, I'm your native son 
        D                   A           Bm-Bm7-E7 
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans 
       C      G     A                     D 
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done. 


D                   A                             D 
I was playin' cards with the old men in the club car. 
Bm              G                     D 
Penny a point, ain’t no one keepin' score 
D               A                     D 
Pass the paper bag that holds that bottle. 
Bm                    A                 D 
I can hear the wheels rumblin' thru the floor. 

Bm                               F#m 
And the sons of Pullman Porters, and the sons of engineers 
A                                         E 
Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel 
Bm                                   F#m 
And their days are full of restless, and their dreams are full of mem'ries 
A                    A7                      D 
And the echos of the freight train whistle’s clear 

 
G                     A7               D 
Singin' good mornin' America, how are you? 
       Bm                 G               D          A7 
Sayin' don't you know me?, I'm your native son 
        D                   A           Bm-Bm7-E7 
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans 
       C      G     A                     D 
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done. 



D                     A             D 
And its twilight on the City of New Orleans. 
Bm               G                  D 
Talk about your pocket full of friends 
D                     A               D 
Half way home, and we'll be there by mornin' 
Bm               A                  D 
With no tomorrow waiting ‘round the bend 



G                     A7               D 
Singin' good night' America, how are you? 
       Bm                 G               D          A7 
Sayin' don't you know me?, I'm your native son 
        D                   A           Bm-Bm7-E7 
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans 
       C      G     A                     D 
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done. 

 
G                     A7               D 
Singin' good mornin' America, how are you? 
       Bm                 G               D          A7 
Sayin' don't you know me?, I'm your native son 
        D                   A           Bm-Bm7-E7 
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans 
       C      G     A                     D 
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
