Riding on the city of New Orleans, [Bm] Illinois Central, Monday morning [D] rail, 15 [A] cars and 15 restless [D] riders, three [Bm] conductors, [A] 25 sacks of mail.
[D]
[Bm] All along the Southbound Odyssey, the [F#m] train pulls out from [F#m] Kankakee, [A] and rolls along past houses far [E] and near,
[Bm] Passing trains that have no names, and [C#m] graveyards filled with old [F#m] black men, and the graveyards of the rusted [D] automobiles.
[G] Good morning [A]
America, [D] how are you?
[B] Say, don't you know [G] me?
I'm your [D] native son.
[A] I'm [D] a train they [A] call the city [Bm] of New Orleans, [E] and [C] I'll be gone 500 [A]
miles from [D] day's dawn, nighttime [A] on the city of New [D] Orleans.
Changing [Bm] cars [G] in Memphis, [D] Tennessee, [A]
[D] halfway home we'll be there by morning, [B] through the Mississippi [A] darkness rolling [D] down to the sea.
And [Bm]
the people seem to just fade into [F#m] a bad dream, [A] and the steel woman will sing her [E]
lullaby.
The conductor will [Bm] sing your songs again, and [F#m] passengers will please refrain, [A] that train has got to disappear in [D] railroad blue.
[G] Good morning, [A] how [D] are you?
[Bm] Say, don't you know [G] me?
I'm your native [D] son.
[A] I'm a train they call [A] the city of [B] New Orleans, [E]
and I'll [C] be gone 500 [A] miles from [D] day's dawn, and I'll be gone 500 [A] miles from [D] day's dawn,
and I'll [C] be gone 500 [A] miles from [D]
[A] day's [D] dawn.
