[G] [D] [G]
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
[Em] [C] [G] - [D]
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail.
[G] [D] [G]
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
[Em] [D] [G]
three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Em]
All on a southbound odyssey,
[Bm]
the train pulls out of Kentucky,
[D] [A]
rolls past horses, farms and fields.
[Em]
Passing trains that have no name
[Bm]
and freight yards full of old black men,
[D] [D7] [G]
and the graveyards of rusted automobiles. Singing...
[C] [D] [G]
Good morning, America, how are you?
[Em] [C] [G] - [D]
Hey, don`t you know me, I`m your native son.
[G] [D] [Em]
I`m the train they call the City of New Orleans,
[F] [C] [D7] [G]
and I´ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
[G] [D] [G]
2. Dealing cards to the old men in the club car,
[Em] [C] [G] - [D]
penny a point, and no one`s keeping score.
[G] [D] [G]
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle,
[Em] [D] [G]
you can feel the wheels grumbling `neath the floor.
[Em] [Bm]
The sons of Pullman porters, and the sons of engineers
[D] [A]
ride their father`s magic carpet made of steel.
[Em]
And mothers with their babies asleep,
[Bm]
are rocking to the gentle beat,
[D] [D7] [G]
the rhythm of rails is all they feel. + CHORUS
[G] [D] [G]
3. Nighttime on the City of New Orleans,
[Em] [C] [G] - [D]
changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
[G] [D] [G]
Halfway home, and we`ll be there by morning,
[Em] [D] [G]
through the Mississippi darkness rollin` to sea.
[Em]
But all the towns and people
[Bm]
seem to fade into a bad dream,
[D] [A]
the steel rail hasn`t heard the news.
[Em]
The conductor sings his song again,
[Bm]
it`s "Passengers will please refrain!"
[D] [D7] [G]
This train`s got the Disappearing Railway Blues. Singing.....
