คอร์ดเพลง City Of New Orleans Arlo Guthrie

คอร์ดที่ใช้: D G Am Bm A

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

All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kenkakee

Rolls along past houses, farms and fields

Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men

And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.

* 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.

Dealing card games with the old men in the club car Penny a point, ain't no one keeping score

Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor

And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers

Ride their fathers' magic carpets made of steel

Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin' to the gentle beat

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

Night time on the City of New Orleans Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee

Halfway 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 got the disappearing railroad blues.
