Verse 1
(G major) Riding on the city (D major) of New Or (G major) leans,
(E minor) Illinois
Central, (C major) Monday morning rail. (G major)
Fifteen cars and fif (D major) teen
restless rider (G major) s
Three (E minor) conductors and
twenty (D major) -five sacks of mail (G major)
All along (E minor) the southbound odyssey
The train (B minor) pulls out of Kankakee
Roll (D major) s along past houses,
farms, and fields (A major)
Passing (E minor) trains that have no names
Freight (B minor) yards full of old black men
And the graveyards (D major) of the
rusted automobiles (G major)
Good (C major) morning Amer (D major) ica, how are (G major) ya?
Say, (E minor) don't you know me?
I'm (C major) your native son (G major)
I'm (D major) (C major) the train (G major) they call
The (D major) city of New Or (E minor) leans
(A major) I'll be gone (F major) five (E minor) hundred miles (D major)
When the day is (G major) done
I see old men playin' poker (D major)
In a club (G major) car
A (E minor) penny in hand ain't no (C major)
one keepin' score (G major)
They pass the paper bag
(D major) that holds the bottle (G major)
And (E minor) feel the wheels a
-grumblin' (D major) neat the floor
(G major) An (D major) (G major) d the (E minor) sons of foreman porters
and the (B minor) sons of engineers
ride their (D major) father's magic carpet
made of steel (A major) moth (E minor) ers
with their babes asleep
are rocking (B minor) to the gentle beat
and the (D major) rhythm of the rails is all they feel (G major)
good (C major) morning amer (D major) ica how are (G major) you
Say, (E minor) don't you know me?
(C major) I'm your native son (G major)
I'm (D major) (C major) the train (G major) they call
the (D major) City of New Or (E minor) leans
(A major) I'll be gone (F major) five (E minor) hundred miles (D major)
when the day is (G major) done (A flat major)
Nighttime on the city (E flat major) of
New Or (A flat major) leans
Changing (F minor) cars in (D flat major) Memphis,
Tennessee (A flat major)
Halfway home and we'll (E flat major) be
there by morn (A flat major) ing
Through the (F minor) Mississippi
darkness rolling (E flat major) down
But (A flat major) all (F minor) the towns and people
seem to (C minor) fade into a bad dream
An (E flat major) d the steel rails still
ain't heard the news (B flat major)
The conduct (F minor) or sings his songs again
The (C minor) passengers will please refrain
This (E flat major) train's got the
disappearing railroad blues (A flat major)
Oh, (D flat major) goodnight Amer (E flat major) ica, how are (A flat major) you?
Say, (F minor) don't you know me?
(D flat major) I'm your latest son (A flat major)
I'm (E flat major) the train (A flat major) they call
the (E flat major) City of New Or (F minor) leans
(B flat major) I'll be gone (G flat major) five (D flat major) hundred miles (E flat major)
when the day is (A flat major) done (A flat major) (A flat major) (A flat major)
You
The City Of New Orleans
