[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D A D D
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Bm G D D
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
D A D D
Fifteen cars, fifteen restless riders
Bm A D D
Three conductors and tweny-five sacks of mail
[Verse 2]
Bm Bm
All along the southbound odyssey
F#m F#m
The train pulls out at Kankakee
A A E E
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Bm Bm
Passin' trains that have no names
F#m F#m
Freight yards full of old black men
A A D D
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles
[Chorus]
G A D D
Good morning America, how are you?
Bm G D
Don't you know me, I'm your native son
A D A Bm A E
I am the train they call The City of New Orleans
C G A D
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D A D D
Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car
Bm G D D
Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score
D A D D
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Bm A D D
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
[Verse 4]
Bm Bm
And the sons of Pullman Porters
F#m F#m
And the sons of engineers
A A E E
Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel
