City Of New Orleans (Arlo Guthrie)

City Of New Orleans (Arlo Guthrie)

[G] Riding on the [D] City of New [G] Orleans [Em] Illinois Central [C] Monday morning [G] rail [G] Fifteen cars and [D] fifteen restless [G] riders [Em] Three conductors and [D] twenty five sacks of [G] mail All a [Em] long the south bound odyssey the [Bm] train pulls out of Kenkakee [D] Rolls along past houses farms and [A] fields [Em] Passing trains that have no name [Bm] freight yards full of old black men And the [D] graveyards of [D7] rusted automo [G] biles

Chorus:

[C] Good morning A[D]merica how [G] are you Say [Em] don't you know me [C] I'm your native [G] son [D] I'm the [G] train they call the [D] City of New [Em] Orleans [A7] I'll be [Dm] gone five [Am] hundred [D] miles when the day is [G] done

[G] Dealing card games with the [D] old men in the [G] club car [Em] Penny a point ain't [C] no-one keeping [G] score [G] Pass the paper [D] bag that holds the [G] bottle [Em] Feel the wheels [D] rumbling 'neath the [G] floor And the [Em] sons of Pullman porters and the [Bm] sons of engineers Ride their [D] father's magic carpets made of [A] steel [Em] Mothers with their babes asleep [Bm] rocking to the gentle beat And the [D] rhythm of the [D7] rails is all they [G] feel

G D e C

Chorus

[G] Night time on the [D] City of New [G] Orleans [Em] Changing cars in [C] Memphis Tenne [G] ssee [G] Half way home [D] we'll be there by [G] morning Through the [Em] Mississippi darkness [D] rolling down to the [G] sea But [Em] all the towns and people seem to [Bm] fade into a bad dream And the [D] steel rail still ain't heard the [A] news The con [Em] ductor sings his songs again The [Bm] passengers will please refrain This [D] train got the disa [D7] ppearing railroad [G] blues

G D K C

[G] Well we're big rock singers we've got golden fingers and we're loved everywhere we [D] go, we sing about beauty and we sing about truth [D7] at ten thousand dollars a [G] show; We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills, but the thrill we've never [C] known, is the [D] thrill that'll get you when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling [G] Stone

CHORUS

[G] Rolling [D] Stone wanna see my picture on the cover [G] (Stone) wanna buy five copies for my mother [D] (Stone) wanna see my smilin' face on the [C] cover of the Rolling [G] Stone

[G] I've got a freaky old lady called my Cocaine Katy who embroiders on my [D] jeans, I've got my poor old gray-haired Daddy, [D7] drivin' my limou [G] sine Now it's all designed to blow our minds but our minds won't really be [C] blown, like the [D] blow that'll get you when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling [G] Stone

CHORUS

[G] We got a lot of little teenage, blue-eyed groupies who do anything we [D] say, we got a genuine Indian guru, [D7] who's teachin' us a better [G] way, We got all the friends that money can buy, so we never have to be a [C] lone, and we [D] keep gettin' richer but we can't get our picture on the cover of the Rolling [G] Stone
