City Of New Orleans Guitar

**Chords:**
Am  F  C  G

   Am                       F
Riding on the City of New Orleans
   C                    G
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
   Am                     F
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
   C                       G
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail

   Am                      F
They're out on the southbound odyssey
   C                         G
The train pulls out of Kankakee
   Am                        F
And rolls along past houses, farms and fields
   C                      G
Passing trains that have no name
   Am                         F
And freight yards full of old black men
   C                        G
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles

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