[D]
Riding on [A] the city of [D] New Orleans, Illinois [G] Central, Monday morning [D] rail,
15 [A] cars and 15 restless [D] riders, [Bm] three conductors [A] and 25 sacks on mail.
[D] [F#m] [Bm] All along the southbound odds, see [F#m] the train pulled out at Canterkeens,
[A] and roads along past houses, [E] farms and fields.
[Bm] Passing trains that have no name, [F#m] graveyards full of old black men,
[A] and the graveyard of the rusted [D] automobile.
[G] Good [A] morning America, [D] how are you?
[Bm] Say, don't you know [G] me?
I'm your native [D] son.
They [A] [D] call it the [A] city [Bm] of New [A] Orleans, [G#] and [C] I'll be [G] gone [A] 500 miles [D] when the day is done.
Stealing cars with the [A] old man in the [D] club car.
[Bm] Any point, [G] ain't no one keeping [D] score.
Pass the paper [A] bag that holds the [D] bottle.
[Bm] Field wheels [A] rumbling beneath the [D] floor,
[F#m] and the [Bm] sons of homeowners and the [F#m] sons of engineers,
ride [A] their father's magic carpet made of [E] steel.
[Em] [Bm] Mother with their baby sweet, [F#m] rocking to the gentle beat,
and [A] the rhythm of the rails is all they [D] feel.
[G] Good [A] morning America, [D] how are you?
[Bm] Say, don't you [G] know me?
I'm your native [D] son.

[D] [A] The city of [Bm] New [E] Orleans, I'll [C] be gone [G] 500 [A] miles when the day [D] is done.

Night time [A] on the city of [D] New Orleans.
[Bm] Changing [G] cars in Memphis, [D] Tennessee.
Halfway home, [A] we'll be there [D] by morning.
Through [Bm] the Mississippi darkness, [A] rolling down to [D] the sea.
[F#m] [Bm] But all the townspeople seem to [F#m] fade into a bad dream,
[A] and the steel rails still ain't heard the [E] news.
The [Bm] conductor sings his songs again, the [F#m] passengers will please refrain.
This [A] train has got the disappearing [D] railroad blues.
[G] Good morning [A] America, how [D] are you?
[Bm] Say, don't you know me?
[G] I'm your native [D] son.
