City Of New Orleans chords and lyrics - WILLIE NELSON

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Riding on the [G]City of New [C]Orleans
[Am]Illinois [F]Central, Monday morning [C]rail
[C]Fifteen cars and [G]fifteen restless [C]riders
[Am]Three conductors
and twen[G]ty- five sacks of [C]mail

[Pre-chorus 1]
All a[Am]long the southbound odyssey
The [Em]train pulls out of Kankakee
And [G]rolls along past houses farms [D]and fields
[Am]Passing trains that have no name
And [Em]freight-yards full of old black men
And the [G]graveyards of the rusted automo[C]biles

[Chorus 1]
[F]Good morning, A[G]merica, how [C]are you?
Say, [Am]don't you know me?
[F]I'm your native [C]son
[G]I'm the [C]train they call
the [G]City of New [Am]Orleans[G][D]
And I'll be [Bb]gone five [F]hundred [G]miles
when the day is [C]done

[Verse 2]
Dealing [C]cards with the [G]old men in the [C]club car
[Am]Penny a point, ain't [F]no one keeping [C]score
[C]Pass that paper [G]bag that holds the [C]bottle
[Am]Feel the wheels [G]rumbling 'neath the [C]floor

[Pre-chorus 2]
And the [Am]sons of Pullman porters
and the [Em]sons of engineers
Ride their [G]fathers' magic carpet made of [D]steel
[Am]Mothers with their babes asleep
[Em]rocking to that gentle beat
And the [G]rhythm of the rails is all they [C]feel

[Chorus 2]
[F]Good morning, A[G]merica, how [C]are you?
Say, [Am]don't you know me?
[F]I'm your native son[C]
[G]I'm the [C]train they call
the [G]City of New [Am]Or l[G]eans[D]
And I'll be [Bb]gone five [F]hundred [G]miles
when the day is [C]done

[Solo 1]

[Bb][F][G][C][C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Night time on the [G]City of New [C]Orleans
[Am]Changing cars in [F]Memphis, Tennes[C]see
[C]Half way home we'll [G]be there by [C]morning
Through the [Am]Mississippi darkness
[G]rolling down to the [C]sea

[Pre-chorus 3]
But [Am]all the towns and people seem
to [Em]fade into a bad dream
And the [G]steel rails still ain't heard the [D]news
The con[Am]ductor sings his songs again
The [Em]passengers will please refrain
This [G]train has got
the disappearing railroad [C]blues

[Chorus 3]
[F]Good morning, A[G]merica, how [C]are you?
Say, [Am]don't you know me?
[F]I'm your native son[C]
[G]I'm the [C]train they call
the [G]City of New [Am]Or l[G]eans[D]
And I'll be [Bb]gone five [F]hundred [G]miles
when the day is [C]done
