[INTRO]
[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]in’t no one keepin' [D]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 whistle’[D]s clear
[CHORUS]
Singin' good mornin' America, how are you?
Sayin' don't you know me? I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
[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 ‘round th[D]e bend
[CHORUS 2]
Singin' good night America, how are you?
'Said don't you know me?, I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
Singin' good mornin' America, how are you?
Sayin' don't you know me? I'm your native son
Yes, I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
