Verse 1
Riding on the
city of New Orleans, Illinois
(E minor) Central Monday (G major) morning rail
(D major) Fifteen (G major) cars and fifteen (D major) residence (G major) riders,
(E minor) three conductors,
(G major) twenty -five sacks a day
All along (E minor) the southbound odyssey
The train (B minor) pulls out of Kankakee
Roam (G major) (D major) s along (D minor) (D major) the houses,
farms, and field (A major) s
Has (E minor) some trains that have no name
in the (B minor) graveyards
Full of old black men and (G major) grave (D major) yards,
rusted off of (G major) the oaks
Good (C major) mornin', Amer (D major) ica, (G major) how are you?
Oh, (C major) don't (E minor) you know (G major) me,
I'm your native son
(D major) I'm the train (G major) they call the
City (D major) of New (E minor) Orleans
And I'll be (F major) gone five (E minor) hundred miles
(D major) when the day (G major) is done (C major)
(G major) (F major) (E minor) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) Playin' card games with the
(D major) old man in the club (G major) car
Penny (E minor) a point,
ain't no (G major) one keepin' score
Pass (D major) (G major) the paper bag (D major)
that holds the bottle (G major)
And feel (E minor) those wheels (G major) rumble
(D major) beneath the (G major) floor
And the son (E minor) s of home importers
And the (G major) sons (B minor) of engineers
Ride their (A major) father's (D major) magic
carpet made (A major) of steel
Moth (E minor) ers with their babes asleep
Rockin' (G major) (B minor) them to the gentle beat
And the (D major) rhythm of the rails
is all (G major) they'll be
Good (C major) mornin' Amer (D major) ica, how (G major) are you?
Oh, (E minor) don't you know (G major) me,
I'm (C major) your native (G major) son
(D major) I'm the train (G major) they call the
City (D major) of New (E minor) Orleans
And I'll be gone (F major) five (E minor) hun
dred (D major) miles
when the day (G major) is done (C major) (G major) (F major) (E minor) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)

(G major)
Good (C major) morning, (D major) America, how (G major) are you
Oh, (E minor) don't you know (G major) me,
I'm your native son
(D major) And the train (G major) may call the
city of (E minor) New Orleans,
But I'll be gone (F major) five (C major) hundred (D major) miles
when the day (G major) is done. (C major) (G major) (F major)
(C major) (E minor) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Night time on the city (D major) of
New Or (G major) leans,
Changing (E minor) cars in (C major) Memphis,
(G major) Tennessee. (D major)
Halfway (G major) home and we'll (D major)
be there by morn (G major) in'
Through the Mississip (E minor) pi Delta,
rollin' (G major) (D major) down to (G major) the sea
And all (E minor) the towns and people
seem to (B minor) fade into a bad dream
And the steel (D major) rails still ain't
(A major) heard the news
Conductor (E minor) sings his songs again,
(G major) passen (B minor) gers will please refrain
This (D major) train's (D minor) got to (D major) disap (A major) pear and rail (D major) (G major) on
(C major) Goodnight Amer (D major) ica, how (G major) are you?
Oh, (E minor) don't you know (G major) me,
I'm your native son
(D major) I'm the train (G major) they call the
City (D major) of (E minor) New Orleans
I'll be gone (F major) five (E minor) hun dred miles
(D major) from the day (G major) it's done (C major) (G major)
Gone (F major) (E minor) five hundred miles
(D major) from the day (G major) it's done (C major) (G major)
Gone five (C major) hundred (G major) miles
(D major) from the day (G major) it's done (C major) (G major) (F major) (E minor) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (F major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (F major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) (C major)
(D major) (C major) (G major)
Bye
