[Verse 1]
D             A             D
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Bm               G                   D
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail
                 A                  D
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
     Bm                      A                 D
Three  conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail

[Pre-Chorus]
     Bm
All along the southbound odyssey,
         F#m
the train   pulls out of Kankakee
    A                                 E
And rolls along past houses farms and fields
Bm                                          F#m
Passing trains that have no name and freight   yards full
of old Black men
             A                A7          D
And the graveyards full of rusted automobiles

[Chorus]
G              A              D
Good morning, America, how are you?
D/C# Bm                 G                  D
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son
A       D                   A             Bm   Bm/A
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
E7/G#                C     G/B          A
     And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is
D
done

[Verse 2]
        D              A                  D
Dealing cards with the old man in the club car
Bm
Penny a point,
      G                   D
ain't no one keeping score
                  A                  D
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
    Bm              A                   D
Feel  the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
            Bm                               F#m
And the sons  of Pullman porters and the sons   of
engineers
           A                             E
Ride their fathers' magic carpet made of steel
Bm
Mothers with their babes asleep,
F#m
rocking to the gentle beat
           A               A7                D
And the rhythm of the rails  is all they feel

[Chorus]
G              A              D
Good morning, America, how are you?
D/C# Bm                 G                  D
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son
A       D                   A             Bm   Bm/A
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
E7/G#            C     G/B          A                D
     I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

[Verse 3]
D                 A             D
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Bm               G                 D
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
                    A              D
Halfway home, we'll be there by morning
            Bm                   A                      D
Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea

[Pre-Chorus]
    Bm                                   F#m
But all the towns and people seem to fade   into a bad
dream
        A                                 E
And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
       Bm
The conductor sings his songs again,
       F#m
the passengers will please refrain
          A                 A7               D
This train has got the disappearing railroad blues

[Chorus]
G              A              D
Good morning, America, how are you?
D/C# Bm                 G                  D
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son
A       D                   A             Bm   Bm/A
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
E7/G#            C     G/B          A                D
     I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
