          G             D           G         G
Well, I'm riding on the City of New Orleans,

Em                C              G         D
Illinois Central, Monday morning rail.

G                D                G          G
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,

         Em          D                    G        G
three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
[Pre-Chorus]
     Em                    Em          Bm                 Bm
All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee,

    D                D                 A            A
and rolls along past houses, farms and fields.

Em                  Em            Bm                    Bm
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men

        D                 D7           G        G7
and the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
[Chorus]
C             D           G             G
Good morning America, how are you?

     Em                 C               G         D
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.

        G                   D           G         G
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.

Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son.

        G                   D           G         G*

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.
