City Of New Orleans

Key: DCapo 2Hard

F#m

the last line of the Chorus is a walk down with the ring finger from the 3rd to second

fret on the a string,

then finish with the a chord.

DRiding on the ACity of DNew Orleans

BmIllinois Central GMonday morning Drail A

DFifteen cars and Afifteen restless Driders

BmThree conductors and Atwenty-five sacks of Dmail.

All aBmlong the south bound odyssey, the F#mtrain pulls out of Kenkakee

ARolls along past houses farms and Efields

BmPassing trains that have no name, F#mfreight yards of old black men

And Agraveyards of A7rusted automoDbiles.

GGood morning AAmerica, how Dare you?

Say, Bmdon't you know me, GI'm your native Dson.

A7I'm the Dtrain they call the ACity of BmNew OrleansE7

I'll be Cgone five Ghundred Amiles when the day is Ddone.

Dealing Dcard games with the Aold men in the Dclub car

BmPenny a point ain't Gno one keeping DscoreA

DPass the paper bag but Ahold the Dbottle

BmFeel the wheels Arumbling 'neath the Dfloor

And the Bmsons of Pullman porters and the F#msons of engineers

ARide their father's magic carpets made of Esteel

BmMother with her babes asleep F#mrocking to the gentle beat

And the Arhythm of the A7rails is all they Dfeel.

GGood morning AAmerica, how Dare you?

Say, Bmdon't you know me, GI'm your native Dson.

A7I'm the Dtrain they call the ACity of BmNew OrleansE7

I'll be Cgone five Ghundred Amiles when the day is Ddone.

DNight time on the ACity of DNew Orleans

BmChanging cars in GMemphis TennesDsee A

DHalfway home Awe'll be there by Dmorning

through the BmMississippi darkness Arolling down to the Dsea.

But Bmall the towns and people seem to F#mfade into a dark dream

And the Asteel rail still ain't heard the Enews

The Bmconductor sings his songs again, the F#mpassengers will please refrain

This Atrain got the disapA7pearing railroad Dblues.

GGood morning AAmerica, how Dare you?

Say, Bmdon't you know me, GI'm your native Dson.

A7I'm the Dtrain they call the ACity of BmNew OrleansE7

I'll be Cgone five Ghundred Amiles when the day is Ddone.

Where in the hell have I gone

I woke up this morning undressed

Might have been a little too drunk
