City of New Orleans chords Arlo Guthrie / Steve Goodman

^GRiding on the ^DCity of ^GNew Orleans ^EmIllinois Central ^CMonday morning ^Grail ^D ^GFifteen cars and ^Dfifteen restless ^Griders ^EmThree conductors and ^Dtwenty-five sacks of^G mail.

^EmAll along the south bound odyssey, the ^Bmtrain pulls out of Kenkakee ^DRolls along past houses farms and ^Afields ^EmPassing trains that have no name, ^Bmfreight yards of old black men And ^Dgraveyards of ^D7rusted automo^Gbiles.

^CGood morning A^D7merica, how ^Gare you' Say, ^Emdon't you know me, ^CI'm your native ^Gson^D7. I'm the ^Gtrain they call the ^DCity of ^EmNew Orleans^A7 I'll be ^Fgone five ^Chundred ^Dmiles when the day is ^Gdone.

Dealing card games with the old men in the club car Penny a point ain't no one keeping score Pass the paper bag but hold the bottle Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel Mother with her babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

Night time on the City of New Orleans Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee Halfway home we'll be there by morning through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea. But all the towns and people seem to fade into a dark dream And the steel rail still ain't heard the news The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain This train got the disappearing railroad blues.

^GGood night A^D7merica, how ^Gare you' Say, ^Emdon't you know me, ^CI'm your native ^Gson^D7. I'm the ^Gtrain they call the ^DCity of ^EmNew Orleans^A7 I'll be ^Fgone five ^Chundred ^Dmiles when the day is ^Gdone.
