_ _ Yeah, come on out ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
Arlo Guthrie _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Riding along the city of New Orleans
_ _ Yellow _ _
[Bm] _ Boy Central, [G] _ Monday [D] morning red _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Fifteen cars [A] and fifteen restless [D] riders _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] Fifteen drivers and [A] twenty-five sacks [D] of pay
_ _ All _
_ _ [Bm] along South Balboa Sea
_ [F#m] Train pulls out to _ Kankakee
[A] Rolls along past houses, farms [E] and fields _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] And passing trains that have no names
[F#m] _ Graveyards filled with old black men
[A] In the _ graveyards of the rusted [D] _ automobile
_ Come on out Donny West
_ [G] Good _ _ morning [A] America, [D] how are you? _
_ _ Say, don't you know [G] me?
I've made a [D] sign _ _
[A] _ _ [D] I'm the train that calls [A] the city [Bm] of New Orleans _ _
[E] _ And I'll [C] be gone [Bm] five hundred [A] miles [D] when the day is done _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Hear the car games [A] with the old man in the [D] black _ car
_ _ _ _ [Bm] And at any point [G] ain't no one keeping [D] score
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
As the people [A] back there hold [D] the bottle
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
And feel the wheels [Em] from [A] beneath the [D] floor
_ _ And _ _ [Bm] the sons of common horse _ and [F#m] the sons of _ engineers
Ride their [A] fathers magic carpet made [E] of steel
_ _ Mothers _ _
[Bm] _ with their babes asleep _ _
[F#m] Rocking to the gentle beat
_ [A]
And the rhythm of the ravers [D] on the field _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ Good morning [D] America, how are you? _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] Say, don't you know me?
[G] _ I've made [D] a sign
_ _ _ [A] _ _
[D] I'm the train that calls [A] the city of [Bm] New Orleans
_ _ [E] _ And I'll [C] be [Bm] gone five [A] hundred miles when the [D] day is done _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [A] I'm _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] on the city of [D] New Orleans _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] Changing cars [G] in Memphis, _
[D] Tennessee
_ _ _ Halfway _ _ _ home [A] we'll be there [D] by _ morning _ _ _
Feel [Bm] the Mississippi darkness [D] rolling down the sea
_ But _ _ [Bm] the towns and the people seem [F#m] to be fading into a bad dream
[A] The steel rails still ain't heard [E] the news
_ The _ _ _
_ [B] [Bm] country singers' _ song will begin
[F#m] And passengers will please refrain
This [A] train has got the disappearing [D] _
railroads in _ view _ _ _
[G] Good morning _ [F#m] _ America, [D] how are you? _ _ _
[Bm] Say, don't you know [G] me?
I've made [D] a sign
I'm _ [A] _ _
[D] the train that calls [A] the city of [Bm] New Orleans
[D] _ [E] And _ I'll be [Cm] gone [G] five [A] hundred miles when [D] the day is done
And _ _ I'll [C] be gone [Bm] five [A] hundred miles when the [D] day is done
_ _ And I'll be [C] gone [Bm] five [A] hundred miles _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
when the day _ _ _ _ _ [D] is done _ _ _ _
