[Intro]
|D |D |D |D |
[Verse 1]
DRiding on the ACity of New DOrleansD
BmIllinois Central,G Monday morning raDil D
DFifteen cars, Afifteen restless DridersD
BmThree conductors and Atweny-five sacks of maDil D
[Verse 2]
All aBmlong the southbound Bmodyssey
The F#mtrain pulls out at F#mKankakee
ARolls along past hoAuses, farms anEd fieldsE
BmPassin' trains that havBme no names
F#mFreight yards full of oldF#m black men
And the graveAyards of Arusted automobDilesD
[Chorus]
GGood morning AAmerica, how aDre youD?
BmDon't you know me,G I'm your native sDon
A I am the traDin they call The ACity of New OBmrleansA E
I'll be gCone five Ghundred mAiles when the day is Ddone
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Dealin' Dcard games with the Aold men in the clubD carD
BmPenny a point ain't Gno one keepin' scDore D
DPass the paper bAag that holds the bDottleD
BmFeel the wheels Arumblin' 'neath the flDoor D
[Verse 4]
And the Bmsons of Pullman PoBmrters
And the soF#mns of engineeF#mrs
Ride their Afather's magic caArpet made of stEeel E
BmMothers with their bBmabes asleep
Are F#mrockin' to the geF#mntle beat
And the Arhythm of the rAail is all they feDel D
[Chorus]
GGood morning AAmerica, how aDre youD?
BmDon't you know me,G I'm your native sDon
A I am the traDin they call The ACity of New OBmrleansA E
I'll be gCone five Ghundred mAiles when the day is DdoneD

[Verse 5]
DNighttime on the Acity of New DOrleansD
ChBmanging cars in GMemphis, TennesseDe D
DHalf way home,A we'll be there by moDrningD
Through the BmMississippi darkness
ARolling down to the seDa D
[Verse 6]
BmAll the towns and pBmeople seem
To F#mfade into a baF#md dream
And the sAteel rails stiAll ain't heard the neEws E
The conduBmctor sings his Bmsong again
The F#mpassengers will F#mplease refrain
This Atrain has got the disaAppearing railroad DbluesD
[Chorus]
GGood morning AAmerica, how aDre youD?
BmDon't you know me,G I'm your native sDon
A I am the traDin they call The ACity of New OBm___ArleEans
I'll be gCone five Bmhundred mAiles when the day is DdoneD
