I´m not sure but thats the tab for the version, i know. F F C F Riding on the City of New Orleans Dm Bb F Illinois Central Monday morning rail F C F Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders Dm C F Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail Dm Am All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee C G Rolls along past houses farms and fields Dm Am Passing trains that have no name, freight yards of old black men C Bb F F5G5A5 (Listen to it and you´ll And graveyards of rusted automobiles get it) Bb C F Good morning America, How are you? Dm Bb F Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son. C F C Dm C Bb I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans D# Dm C F I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done Dealing card games with the old men in the club car Penny a point ain't noone keeping score Pass the paper bag but holds the bottle Feel the wheels rumbling 'neath the floor And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel Mothers with her babes asleep rocking to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel Good morning America, How are you? Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son. I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done Night time on the City of New Orleans Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee Half way home we'll be there by morning Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea. But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream And the steel rail still ain't heard the news The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain This train´s got the disappearing railroad blues Good night America, How are you? Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son. I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done Good night America, How are you? Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son. I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done Chords used F 133211 C X32010 Dm XX0231 (or X57765 for chorus) Bb X13331 (or 688766 for chorus) Am X02210 G 320033 F5 133XXX A5 577XXX G5 355XXX D# X68886 (If you play the chorus barred it´s pretty easy) ----- Great song!
