	        D                A             D  
Ridin' on the City of New Orleans  
Bm               G             D  
Illinois Central Monday mornin' rail  
D                A               D  
There's 15 cars, and 15 restless riders  
Bm              A              D  
3 conductors and 25 sacks of mail  

Bm                               F#m  
All along a southbound oddyssey, and the train pulls out of Kankakee  
A                                          E  
And rolls along past the houses, farms and fields  
Bm                               F#m  
Passin' towns that have no name, and freightyards full of old grey men  
A                  A7                 D  
The graveyards of the rusted automobiles  


 
G A7 D Singin' good mornin' America, how are you? Bm G D A7 Sayin' don't you know me?, I'm your native son D A Bm-Bm7-E7 I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans C G A D I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
D A D I was playin' cards with the old men in the club car. Bm G D Penny a point, ain’t no one keepin' score D A D Pass the paper bag that holds that bottle. Bm A D I can hear the wheels rumblin' thru the floor. Bm F#m And the sons of Pullman Porters, and the sons of engineers A E Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel Bm F#m And their days are full of restless, and their dreams are full of mem'ries A A7 D And the echos of the freight train whistle’s clear
G A7 D Singin' good mornin' America, how are you? Bm G D A7 Sayin' don't you know me?, I'm your native son D A Bm-Bm7-E7 I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans C G A D I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
D A D And its twilight on the City of New Orleans. Bm G D Talk about your pocket full of friends D A D Half way home, and we'll be there by mornin' Bm A D With no tomorrow waiting ‘round the bend
G A7 D Singin' good night' America, how are you? Bm G D A7 Sayin' don't you know me?, I'm your native son D A Bm-Bm7-E7 I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans C G A D I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done. G A7 D Singin' good mornin' America, how are you? Bm G D A7 Sayin' don't you know me?, I'm your native son D A Bm-Bm7-E7 I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans C G A D I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
