[Verse 1]
G D G
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans
Em C G
Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail
G D G
There's 15 cars, and 15 restless riders
Em D G
3 conductors and 25 sacks of mail
Em Bm
All along a southbound odyssey, and the train pulls out of Kankakee
D A
And rolls along past the houses, farms and fields
Em Bm
Passin' trains that have no name, and freightyards full of old black men
D D7 G
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles
[Chorus]
C D7 G
Singin', Good mornin' America, how are ya?
Em C G D7
Don't you know me?, I'm your native son
G D Em D A7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
F C D G
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
[Verse 2]
G D G
Dealin’ card games with the old men in the club car.
Em C G
Penny a point, ain’t no one keepin' score
G D G
Won't ya pass the paper bag that holds that bottle.
Em D G
You can feel the wheels rumblin' ‘neath the floor.
Em Bm
And the sons of Pullman Porters, and the sons of engineers
D A
Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel
Em Bm
Mothers with their babes asleep are rockin’ to the gentle beat
D D7 G
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.
[Chorus]
C D7 G
Singin', Good mornin' America, how are ya?
Em C G D7
Don't you know me?, I'm your native son
G D Em D A7
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
F C D G
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
