Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (A major) (D major) Riding on the city
of (A major) New Or (B minor) leans Hill
North Central, (G major) Monday morning rain (D major) (A major)
Fif (D major) teen cars,
(A major) fifteen restless (F sharp minor) rider (B minor) s
Three conductors,
twenty (G major) -five sacks (A major) of mail (D major)
All along (B minor) the southbound odyssey,
the (F sharp minor) train pulls out of Kangakee (E major) Road (A major) s along pass houses,
farms and fields (E major)
Passing (B minor) trains that had no name,
(F sharp minor) freight yards full of old black men
And the (A major) graveyards of the
rusted automobiles (D major)
Well it's (G major) good morning Amer (A major) ica now,
(D major) aren't you?
Now, (B minor) don't you know me,
(G major) I'm your native son (D major) (A major)
I'm a (D major) train that comes to (A major) the
of New Or (B minor) leans (A flatdim)
I'll be gone (C major) five (G major) hundred miles (A major)
when the day is (D major) done
Dealin' cards with the old (A major)
men in the club (B minor) car
Penny and pointer,
nobody's (G major) keepin' score (D major) (A major)
Pass (D major) the paper bag (A major)
that holds the (B minor) bottle
Feel the wheels rum (G major) blin' (A major) near the floor (D major)
And the (B minor) sons of foregone porters
And the (F sharp minor) sons of engineers
Ride (D major) their (A major) fathers' magic
carpet made of steel (E major)
Mothers (B minor) with their babes asleep
rock (F sharp minor) in' to that gentle beat
An (E major) d the (A major) rhythm of (E major) (A major) the
rails is all they feel (D major)
Good (G major) morning Amer (A major) ica, how are (D major) you?
Now don't (B minor) you know me,
(G major) I'm your native son (D major) (A major)
I'm a (D major) train to go to (A major) the city
of New Or (B minor) leans (E major)
I'll be gone (C major) by a (G major) hundred miles (A major)
when the day is (D major) done (A major) (B minor) (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (B minor) (G major)
(A major) (D major) (B minor) (F sharp minor) (A major)
(E major) (B minor) (F sharp minor) (A major)
(D major)
Nighttime on the (A major) city of
New (D major) Or (B minor) leans
Changing cars in (G major) Memphis,
Tennessee (D major) (A major)
Halfway (D major) home,
(A major) we'll be there by morn (B minor) ing
Through the Mississippi darkness
rolling (G major) down (A major) to the sea (D major)
All (B minor) the towns and people
seem to (F sharp minor) fade into a bad dream
Steel (D major) (A major) (E major) rails still (A major) ain't heard the news (E major)
The conductor (B minor) sings a song again
Pas (F sharp minor) sengers will please refrain
And this train (A major) got to disappear
in fair old blue (D major)
Good (G major) morning Amer (A major) ica, how are (D major) you?
Now don't (B minor) you know me,
(G major) I'm your native son (D major) (A major)
I'm a (D major) train to go to the (A major) city of
New Or (B minor) leans (G sharpdim)
I'll be gone (C major) five (G major) hundred miles (A major)
when the day is (D major) done
Well it's (G major) good morning Amer (A major) ica,
how are (D major) you?
Now don't (B minor) you know me,
(G major) I'm your native son (D major) (A major)
I'm a (D major) train to call the (A major) city
of New (D major) Or (B minor) leans
(G sharpdim) I'll be gone (C major) five (G major) hundred miles (A major)
when the day is done (D major)
(B minor) I'll (D major) be gone (C major) five (G major) hundred miles
(A major) when the day is (D major) done (B minor) (D major) (C major) (G major) (A major) (D major)
