Judy Collins - 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_____
