City of New Orleans chords\r\nArlo Guthrie 1972 (Steve Goodman)\r\n \r\nhttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/City_of_New_Orleans_(song)  ***\r\n \r\nCapo IV **\r\n \r\n[Intro]\r\n \r\n[C] <\/span>\r\n \r\n{ VERSE } - - - - [C] <\/span>Riding on the [G] <\/span>City of [C] <\/span>New Orleans.  [Am] Illinois Central, [F] Monday morning [C] <\/span>rail. [G] - - - <\/span>[C] Fifteen cars and [G] <\/span>fifteen restless [C] <\/span>riders,  [Am] three conductors and [G] <\/span>twenty-five sacks of [C] <\/span>mail.\r\n\r\nAll [Am] along the south bound odyssey, the [Em] train pulls out of Kankakee,   [G] rolls along past houses, farms and [D] fields - [Am] passing trains that have no name, [Em] freight yards full of old black men, and the [G] <\/span>graveyards of the [G7] <\/span>rusted auto-[C]-<\/span>mobiles.\r\n \r\n{ CHORUS } - - - - [F] Good morning [G] <\/span>America, how [C] <\/span>are you?   Say, [Am] don't you know me, [F] I'm your native [C] <\/span>son.  - - - { TAG LINE } - - - [G7] I'm the [C] train they call the [G] City of [Am] New Orleans.  [D7] - - - I'll be [Bb] gone five [F] hundred [G] <\/span>miles when the [G7] <\/span>day is [C] <\/span>done.\r\n<\/span> \r\n{ VERSE } - - - - Dealing [C] card games with the [G] <\/span>old men in the [C] <\/span>club car.  [Am] Penny a point, ain't [F] no one keeping [C] <\/span>score. [G] - - - <\/span>[C] Pass the paper bag that [G] <\/span>holds the [C] <\/span>bottle, [Am] feel the wheels [G] <\/span>rumblin' 'neath the [C] <\/span>floor.\r\n\r\nAnd the [Am] sons of Pullman porters and the [Em] sons of engineers, [G] ride their fathers' magic carpets made of [D] steel.   [Am] Mothers with their babes asleep, [Em] rockin' to the gentle beat, and the [G] <\/span>rhythm of the [G7] <\/span>rails is all they [C] <\/span>feel.\r\n \r\n{ CHORUS } - - - - [F] Good morning [G] <\/span>America, how [C] <\/span>are you?  - - - { TAG LINE } - - -<\/span> \r\n \r\n{ VERSE } - - - - [C] Night time on the [G] <\/span>City of [C] <\/span>New Orleans.  [Am] Changing cars in [F] Memphis, Tenne-[C]-see. [G] - - - <\/span>[C] Halfway home, [G] we'll be there by [C] <\/span>morning, through the [Am] Mississippi darkness [G] <\/span>rolling down to the [C] <\/span>sea.\r\n \r\nBut [Am] all the towns and people seem to [Em] fade into a bad dream, and the [G] steel rail still ain't heard the [D] news.  The [Am] conductor sings his songs again, the [Em] passengers will please refrain, this [G] train got the disap-[G7]-pearing railroad [C] <\/span>blues.\r\n \r\n{ CHORUS } - - - - [F] Good night [G] America, how [C] <\/span>are you?  Say, [Am] don't you know me, [F] I'm your native [C] <\/span>son.  - - - { TAG LINE } - - -<\/span> \r\n \r\n*** This version: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fF1lqEQFVUo\r\n \r\n**  Alternates:\r\n\r\n <\/span><\/pre>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
