A 
Central, Monday morning rail
D 
A 
Fifteen cars and fifteen
D 
restless riders,
Bm 
three conductors
A 
D 
and twenty -five sacks of mail
Bm 
All along the southbound odyssey,
F#m 
the train pulls out of Kinkakee
A 
And rolls along past houses,
E 
farms, and fields
Bm 
Passing trains that have no names,
F#m 
graveyards full of old black men
A 
And the graveyards of
D 
rusty automobiles
G 
A

Good morning America, how are ya?

Dealin' card games

with the old men in the club car
Bm 
Penny a point,
G 
D 
A 
ain't no one keepin' the score
D 
A 
D 
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Bm 
A 
Feel the wheels rumbling beneath the floor
D 
Bm 
And the sons of Pullman porters
F#m 
And the sons  of engineers
A 
Ride their fathers' magic carpets
Made of steel
E 
Bm 
Mothers   with their babes asleep
F#m 
Rocking   to a gentle beat
A 
And the rhythm of the rails
D 
Is all they feel
G 
A 
Good morning America
D 
How are ya?
Bm 
I said don't you know me
G

I'm your native son

Nighttime on the city of

New Or leans
Bm 
G 
Changing cars in Memphis,
D 
A 
Tennessee
D 
Halfway home,
A 
D 
we'll be there by morning
Bm 
Through the Mississippi darkness
A 
rolling down to the sea
D 
Bm 
but all the towns and people seem
F#m 
seem to fade  into a bad dream
A 
E 
and the steel rail still ain't heard the news
Bm 
the conductor sings his songs again
F#m 
the passengers will please refrain
