	Ami	F	C
Il	linois Central, Mon	day morning rai	l.

	C	G	C
There's 1	5 cars and 1	5 restless r	iders,

	Ami	G	C
and	3 conductors, 2	5 sacks of m	ail.

	Ami
They're	out on a south-bound odeyssey,

	Emi
the t	rain pulls out of Kankakee,

	G	D
ro	llin' past the houses, farms, and fi	elds.

	Ami
And the p	assin' towns that have no name,

	Emi
f	reight yards full of old black men,

	G	C
and the grav	eyards of rusted autom	obiles.

CHORUS:

	F	C
	Good morning America. How	are you?

	Ami	F	C
Say,	don't you know me? I	'm your native s	on.

	C	G	Ami	D7
I'm the t	rain they call the C	ity of New O	rleans	.

	F	G	C
I'll be go	ne 500 m	iles when the day is d	one.

Verse:2

	C	G	C
Dealin' c	ard games with the o	ld men in the c	lub car,

	Ami	F	C
P	enny a point ain't	no one keepin' sc	ore,

	C	G	C
Won't you p	ass the paper b	ag that holds the b	ottle,

	Ami	G	C
Yeah, and f	eel the wheels a-gr	umblin' 'neath the fl	oor,

	Ami	Emi
And the s	ons of pullmen porters, and the	sons of engineers,

	G	D
ride their fa	thers' magic carpet made of st	eel.

	Ami
Mo	thers with their babes asleep,

	Emi
are r	ockin' to the gentle beat,

	G	G7	C
and the rh	ythm of the ra	ils is all they f	eel.

- REPEAT CHORUS -

Verse:3

	C	G	C
N	ight time on the C	ity of New O	rleans,

	Ami	F	C	G
c	hangin' cars in Me	mphis Tenn	essee,

	C	G	C
Ha	lfway home, we	'll be there by mo	rnin',

	Ami
through the Mi	ssissippi darkness,

	G	C
rol	lin' down to the s	ea.

	Ami
But	all the towns and people seem,

	Emi
to f	ade into a bad dream,

	G	D
and the s	teel rail, still ain't heard the n	ews.

	Am
The con	ductor sings his songs again,

	Emi
the pa	ssengers will please refrain,

	G	F	C
this tr	ain's got tt disappe	ar in' them railroad b	lues.
