City Of New Orleans
Arlo Guthrie
Key : F#
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
F#

[Verse 1]
---------------------
F#              C#          F#
Riding on the City of New Orleans,
D#m              B              F#
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
                    C#              F#
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
         D#m         C#
Three conductors and twenty five sacks of mail
F#    D#m
 All along the southbound odyssey
    A#m
The train pulls out at Kankakee
C#                                       G#
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
D#m
Passin' trains that have no names
A#m
Freight yards full of old black men
        C#                                  F#
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
B             C#         F#
Good morning America how are you?
    D#m               B               F#
Say don't you know me I'm your native son
C#      F#                  C#            D#m  D#m/C#
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans
G#/C            E     D#m          C#               F#
    I'll be gone  five hundred miles when the day is done

[Verse 2]
---------------------
        F#                  C#                 F#
Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car
D#m                   B            F#
Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score
                  C#              F#
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
D#m             C#
Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor
F#           D#m
 And the sons  of Pullman porters
            A#m
And the sons  of engineers
           C#                                  G#
Ride their fathers' magic carpets made of steel
D#m
Mothers with their babes asleep
    A#m
Are rockin' to the gentle beat
        C#                              F#
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel



[Verse 3]
---------------------
F#               C#            F#
Nighttime on The City of New Orleans
D#m              B                 F#
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
               C#                F#
Half way home, we'll be there by morning
            D#m
Through the Mississippi darkness
C#
Rolling down to the sea
F#      D#m
 But all  the towns and people seem
   A#m
To fade into a bad dream
        C#                                    G#
And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
          D#m
The conductor sings his songs again
    A#m
The passengers will please refrain
     C#                                    F#
This train's got the disappearing railroad blues

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
B            C#          F#
Good night, America, how are you?
    D#m               B               F#
Say don't you know me I'm your native son
C#      F#                  C#            D#m  D#m/C#
I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans
G#/C            E     D#m          C#               F#
    I'll be gone  five hundred miles when the day is done

[Fade Out]
