Music & Lyrics: Steve Goodman Album: America (2008) [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] |D |D |D [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

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
