City of new orleans

Akkoorden in dit liedje

C             G7          C
Riding on the city of New Orleans
Am               F              C
Illinois central Monday morning rail
                 G7               C
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Am                   G7                   C
Three conductors and twenty five sacks of mail

Am
All along the southbound Odyssey
Em
The train pulls out of Kankakee
G7                                   D7
And rolls along the houses farms and fields
Am
Passing towns that have no name
Em
And freight yards full of old black men
G7                               C
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles

F            G7              C
Good morning America how are you
Am                    F               C
Say don't you know me I'm your native son
G7      C                   G7          Am
I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans
        A7#               G7                    C
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

                       G7                  C
Dealing cards with the old men in the club car
Am                     F           C
Penny a point ain't no one keeping score
               G7                 C
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Am              G7                  C
Feel the wheels grumbling neath the floor

Am
And the sons of Pullman porters
Em
And the sons of engineers
G7                                      D7
Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel
Am
Mothers with their babes a sleep
Em
A rocking to the gentle beat
