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 C Dm I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans Eb Dm C F I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done F C F Dealing card games with the old men 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 Am And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers C G Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel Dm Am Mothers with her babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat C Bb F And the rhythm of the rails 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 C F Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea Dm Am But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream C G And the steel rail still ain't heard the news Dm Am The conductor sings his songs again, 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 F I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
