[D]Ridin' on the Cit[A]y of New Orlea[D]ns
[Bm]Illinois Central [G]Monday mornin'[D] rail
[D]There's 15 cars, [A]and 15 restless [D]riders
[Bm]3 conductors and[A] 25 sacks of ma[D]il
[Bm]All along a southbound oddyssey, [F#m]and the train pulls out of Kankakee
[A]And rolls along past the houses, farms and [E]fields
[Bm]Passin' towns that have no name, [F#m]and freightyards full of old grey men
[A]The graveyards of t[A7]he rusted automobil[D]es
[CHORUS]
[G]Singin' good mornin' A[A7]merica, how are y[D]ou?
Sayin' [Bm]don't you know me?,[G] I'm your native[D] son [A7]
[D] [A] [Bm] -[Bm7] -[E7]
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be[C] gone 5[G]00 mil[A]es when the day is don[D]e.
[D]I was playin' cards [A]with the old men in the club c[D]ar.
[Bm]Penny a point, a[G]inât no one keepi[D]n' score
[D]Pass the paper b[A]ag that holds that bot[D]tle.
[Bm]I can hear the wheels [A]rumblin' thru the [D]floor.
[Bm]And the sons of Pullman Porters, [F#m]and the sons of engineers
[A]Ride their father's magic carpet made of s[E]teel
[Bm]And their days are full of restless, [F#m]and their dreams are full of mem'ries
[A]And the echos of the [A7]freight train whistleâ?[D] ?s clear
[CHORUS]
[G]Singin' good mornin' A[A7]merica, how are y[D]ou?
Sayin' [Bm]don't you know me?,[G] I'm your native[D] son [A7]
[D] [A] [Bm] -[Bm7] -[E7]
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be[C] gone 5[G]00 mil[A]es when the day is don[D]e.
[D]And its twilight on th[A]e City of New [D]Orleans.
[Bm]Talk about your p[G]ocket full of frien[D]ds
[D]Half way home, and we'[A]ll be there by m[D]ornin'
[Bm]With no tomorrow [A]waiting âround[D] the bend
[CHORUS]
[G]Singin' good night' Am[A7]erica, how are yo[D]u?
Sayin' [Bm]don't you know me?,[G] I'm your native[D] son [A7]
