Riding on the City of New Orleans
 Em                             C                           G 
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
 G                               D                               G 
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
                   Em                   D                                       G 
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
         Em                                                                 Bm 
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kenkakee
 D                                                                 A 
Rolls along past houses farms and fields
 Em                                                               Bm 
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men
                 D                         D7                       G 
And the graveyards of rusted automobiles???Chorus
 C                         D7                   G 
Good morning America, how are you?   (night   3rd chorus)
           Em                                 C                               G       D7   D9 
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
                 G                                     D                     Em         Em7       A7 
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
                 Bb               C             D                           D9           G 
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
                           G                           D                           G 
Dealing card games with the old men in the club car
 Em                                   C                           G 
Penny a point ain't no one keeping score
 G                           D                                   G 
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
 Em                           D                                     G 
Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor
                 Em                                                           Bm 
And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers
                       D                                                           A 
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
 Em                                                           Bm 
Mothers with their babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat
                 D                                           D7             G 
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel???Chorus
 G                             D                     G 
Nightime on the City of New Orleans
 Em                             C                           G 
Changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
 G                         D                                 G 
Half way home we'll be there by morning
                         Em                                     D                                     G 
through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
         Em                                                             Bm 
But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
                 D                                                               A 
And the steel rail still ain't heard the news
                 Em                                                               Bm 
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
             D                                                 D7             G 
This train got the disappearing railroad blues???Chorus
