Am

G 
Monday morning rail.

There's fifteen cars,
G 
C 
fifteen restless riders,
Am 
three conductors,
G 
C 
twenty -five checks a meal.
Am 
And we're out on
the southbound odyssey,
Em 
train rolls out of Kentucky,
G 
heading past the house,
D 
farms and fields
Am 
Passing towns have no names,
Em 
street yards full of old gray men,
G 
C 
graveyard rusty automobiles
F 
Singing good morning America,
G 
C 
how are you?
Am 
Sayin' don't you know me,

when the day is done
I'll be dealin' cards for the

old man in the club car
Am

Penny a point for any no one
C 
G 
keepin' score
C 
G 
Once you pass the paperback
C 
that holds the bottle
Am 
G 
C 
Here's a wheel of propolis, he's a boy
Am 
And sons of golden porters,
Em 
sons   of engineers
G 
Ride the father's magic carpet
D 
made of steel
Am 
And days are full of restlessness,
Em 
dreams are full of memories
G 
And the echo of a freight
C 
train whistles clear
F 
Singin' good mornin' America,
G 
C 
how are you?
Am 
Sayin' don't you know me,
F 
C 
I'm your native son
G

when the day is done
Am 
And it's twilight on the
Em 
C 
city of New Orleans
Am 
G 
C 
Talk about your pocket full of friends
Am 
G 
C 
Halfway home and I'll be there by morning
D 
G 
No tomorrow comin' down the bend
F

Singin' goodnight America, I love you
Am 
Sayin' don't you know me,

I'm your native son
