Hey guys, this is my first tab but i think its pretty close, all the other tabs for this song i found were all in the wrong key so i sounded it out the best i could. hope you all enjoy it. Verse
F#Ridin' on the CiC#ty of New F#Orleans EbmIllinois Central, BMonday mornin'F# rail
F#15 cars &aC#mp; 15 restF#less riders EbmThree conductors,C# 25 sacks of maF#il
Bridge
All aEbmlong the southbound odyssey the train pulls out ofBb Kankakee C#Rolls along past houses, farms &aAbmp; fields
EbmPassin' graves that have no name, fBbreight yards full of old black men And the graveC#yards of rustedC#sus4 automobiF#les
Chorus
B Good mornin' C#America, hoF#w are you? EbmDon't you know me? IB'm your nativeF# son!
I'm the tF#rain they call theC# City of New F#Orleans I'll be goEne 50B0 milC#es when the day is dF#one
Dealin' cards with the old men in the club car Penny a point, ain't no one keepin' score Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle And feel the wheels rumblin' neath the floor And the sons of Pullman porters & the sons of engineers Ride their fathers' magic carpets made of steel Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel Good mornin' America, how are you? Say 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. Night time on the City of New Orleans Changin' cars in Memphis, Tennessee Halfway home, we'll be there by mornin' Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin' down to the sea But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad 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 disappea rin' railroad blues Good night America, how are you? Say 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.
