The City Of New Orleans Arlo Guthrie CAPO I F F C F Riding on the City of New Orleans Dm Bb F Illinois Central Monday morning rail F C F Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders Dm C F Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail Dm All along the south bound odyssey Am The train pulls out of Kankakee C G Rolls along past houses farms and fields Dm Passing trains that have no name Am Freight yards full of old black men C Bb F And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles CHORUS Bb C F Good morning America, how are you? Dm Bb F Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son C F I'm the train they call C Dm The City of New Orleans Eb Dm C I'll be gone five hundred miles F When the day is done F C Dealing card games with the old men F In the club car Dm Bb F Penny a point ain't no one keeping score F C F Pass the paper bag but holds the bottle Dm C F Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor Dm And the sons of Pullman porters Am And the sons of engineers C Ride their father's magic carpets G Made of steel Dm Mothers with her babes asleep Am Rocking to the gentle beat C Bb And the rhythm of the rails F Is all they feel CHORUS |
F C F Night time on the City of New Orleans Dm Bb F Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee F C F Half way home we'll be there by morning F Through the Mississippi darkness C F Rolling down to the sea Dm But all the towns and people seem Am To fade into a bad dream C G And the steel rail still ain't heard the news Dm The conductor sings his songs again Am The passengers will please refrain C Bb F This train´s got the disappearing railroad blues Bb C F Good night America, how are you? Dm Bb F Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son C F C Dm I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans Eb Dm C I'll be gone five hundred miles F When the day is done |
