Track 1 - The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
G C G
[Verse 1]
See her how she Cflies
GGolden sails across the AmskyG
CClose enough to AmtouchD
But Bm7careful if you Emtry
CThough she Dlooks as warm as EmgoldC
The Gmoon's a harsh AmmistressG
The moon can be so CcoldG
[Verse 2]
Once the sun did Cshine
GLord, it felt so AmfineG
The Cmoon a phantom AmroseD
Through the Bm7mountains and the Empines
And Cthen the Ddarkness EmfellC
And the Gmoon's a harsh AmmistressG
It's so hard to love her Cwell
[Verse 3]
I Bbfell out of her eyEbes
BbI fell out of her CmheartBb
I Ebfell down on my CmfaceF
I Dm7tripped and missed my Ebstar
EbGod, I fell and Ffell aGmloneEb
And the Bbmoon's a harsh CmmistressBb
And the sky is made of Ebstone
The Bbmoon's a harsh CmmistressBb
She's hard to call your Ebown

CWhy do you fly bright feathered sometimes in my Gdreams?
BbThe shadows of your wings Cfall over my face
BbI can feel no air, CI can find no peace
BbBrides in black ribbons, Cwitches in white
BbFly in through windows, Cfly out through the Gnight
CWhy do I think I'm dying sometimes in my Gdreams
BbI see myself a child rCunning through the trees
BbSearching for myself, Clooking for my life
BbLooking everywhere Ccrawling on my knees
Bb Cg
I cannot see the leaves, I cannot see the light
Em7Then I see you walking jDust beyond the forest
Em7Walking very quickly, Dwalking by yourself
Em7Your shoes are silver, Dyour coat is made of velvet
Em7Your eyes are shining, Dyour voice is sweet and clear
C"Come on", you say, "Come with me, DI'm going to the castle"
CAll the bells are ringing, Dthe weddings have begun
CBut I can only stand here, DI cannot move to follow
CI'm burning in the shadows and C9freezing in the Dsun

GPeople from your childhood who C9remember how you Dwere

Track 5 - Song For Duke
I didn’t even know the man
I didn’t know the Dmman himself
Even though his music Gfilled my life
As it has so many oCthers
I knew that he had died that Cweek
After fighting death a Dmyear or more
But I had had a Grule before
That funerals were a waste of floCwers
But something said I Amhad to go
To be a witness to his Emgift of love
A man who never once gave Fup on life
Until death Dmtook him in its Gtracks
The people stood around the Cchurch
Ten thousand people there they Dmsay or more
Black and white and Grich and poor
Together they were there to say fareCwell
In New York City it had rained that Cday
The streets were silver and the Dmsky was gray
In the church the music Gsailed and sang
And seemed to fill the air with shining Csun
The man was a Amhero
He played the music Emof our souls
He knew that we all Fhave in us
A place where Dmbeauty always Ggrows
Outside in the streets Cagain
The people wandered through the Dmfalling rain
They waved their hands and Gdried their tears
And turned to go about their lives aCgain
But none of us will be the Csame
If we hear the things his Dmmusic says
That loving is the Ggift of life
And making music was his way of Clove
The man was a Amhero
He sang the music Emof our souls
He knew that we all Fhave in us
A place where Dmbeauty always Ggrows
Always gCrows

[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
GRiding on the DCity of New GOrleans
EmIllinois Central CMonday morning Grail
Fifteen cars and Dfifteen restless Griders
Three conEmductors and Dtwenty-five sacks of Gmail
EmOn the south bound odyssey, the Bmtrain pulls out of Kenkakee
DRolls along past houses farms and Afields
EmPassing trains that have no name, Bmfreight yards of old black men
And the Dgraveyards of the Crusted automoGbiles
[Chorus]
CGood morning ADmerica, how Gare you?
Say, Emdon't you know me, CI'm your native GsonD
I'm the Gtrain they call the DCity of New EmOrleans
I'll be Fgone five Chundred Dmiles when the day is Gdone
[Verse 2]
Playing cards with the Dold men in the Gclub car
EmPenny a point, ain't Cno one keeping Gscore
Pass the paper Dbag, but hold the Gbottle
And Emfeel the wheels Drumbling beneath the Gfloor
And the Emsons of Pullman porters, and the Bmsons of engineers
Ride their Dfather's magic carpets made of Asteel
EmMother with their babes asleep, Bmrocking to the gentle beat
The Drhythm of the Crails is all they Gfeel
[Chorus]
CGood morning ADmerica, how Gare you?
Say, Emdon't you know me, CI'm your native GsonD
I'm the Gtrain they call the DCity of New EmOrleans
I'll be Fgone five Chundred Dmiles when the day is Gdone
[Verse 3]
Night time on the DCity of New GOrleans
EmChanging cars in CMemphis, TennesGsee
Half way home and Dwe'll be there by Gmorning
Through the EmMississippi darkness Drolling down to the Gsea
And Emall the towns and people seem to Bmfade into a bad dream
The Dsteel rail still ain't heard the Anews
The conEmductor sings his songs again, the Bmpassengers will please refrain
DThis train got the Cdisappearing railroad Gblues
[Chorus]
CGood night ADmerica, how Gare you?
Say, Emdon't you know me, CI'm your native GsonD
I'm the Gtrain they call the DCity of New EmOrleans
I'll be Fgone five Chundred Dmiles when the day is Gdone
I'll be Fgone a Cmillion Dmiles when the race is Grun
I'll be FgonCe__G___

Track 5 - Song For Duke
I didn’t even know the man
Dm
I didn’t know the man himself
G
Even though his music filled my life
C
As it has so many others
C
I knew that he had died that week
Dm
After fighting death a year or more
G
But I had had a rule before
C
That funerals were a waste of flowers
Am
But something said I had to go
Em
To be a witness to his gift of love
F
A man who never once gave up on life
Dm G
Until death took him in its tracks
C
The people stood around the church
Dm
Ten thousand people there they say or more
G
Black and white and rich and poor
C
Together they were there to say farewell
C
In New York City it had rained that day
Dm
The streets were silver and the sky was gray
G
In the church the music sailed and sang
C
And seemed to fill the air with shining sun
Am
The man was a hero
Em
He played the music of our souls
F
He knew that we all have in us
Dm G
A place where beauty always grows
C
Outside in the streets again
Dm
The people wandered through the falling rain
G
They waved their hands and dried their tears
C
And turned to go about their lives again
C
But none of us will be the same
Dm
If we hear the things his music says
G
That loving is the gift of life
C
And making music was his way of love
Am
The man was a hero
Em
He sang the music of our souls
F
He knew that we all have in us
Dm G
A place where beauty always grows
C
Always grows

Sure of my lines, no one is there.

I thought that you'd want what I want - sorry my dear.

But where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns.

Don't bother, they're here.

Losing my timing this late, in my career?

[Intro]

Track 9 - City Of New Orleans
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G D G
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Em C G
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
D G
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Em D G
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
Em Bm
On the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kenkakee
D A
Rolls along past houses farms and fields
Em Bm
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards of old black men
D C G
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles
[Chorus]
C D G
Good morning America, how are you?
Em C G D
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
G D Em
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
F C D G
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
[Verse 2]
D G
Playing cards with the old men in the club car
Em C G
Penny a point, ain't no one keeping score
D G
Pass the paper bag, but hold the bottle
Em D G
And feel the wheels rumbling beneath the floor
Em Bm
And the sons of Pullman porters, and the sons of engineers
D A
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
Em Bm
Mother with their babes asleep, rocking to the gentle beat
D C G
The rhythm of the rails is all they feel
[Chorus]
C D G
Good morning America, how are you?
Em C G D
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
G D Em
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
F C D G
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
[Verse 3]
D G
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Em C G
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
D G
Half way home and we'll be there by morning
Em D G
Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
Em Bm
And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
D A
The steel rail still ain't heard the news
Em Bm
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
D C G
This train got the disappearing railroad blues
[Chorus]
C D G
Good night America, how are you?
Em C G D
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
G D Em
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
F C D G
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
F C D G
I'll be gone a million miles when the race is run
F C G
I'll be gone_____
