City Of New Orleans – Arlo Guthrie – Ukulele Chords

Introduction:

C | C | C | C

Verse:

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

Pre-Chorus:

All a Am long the south bound odyssey

The Em train pulls out of Kenkakee

G Rolls along past houses farms and D fields

Am Passing trains that have no name

Em Freight yards full of old black men

And the G graveyards of the G7 rusted automo-C biles

Chorus:

F Good morning A – G merica how C are you?

Say Am don’t you know me F I’ m your native C son G7

I’m the C train they call the G City of Am New Orleans D7

I’ll be Bb gone five F hundred G miles when the day is C done

Verse:

Dealing C card games with the G old men in the C club car

Am Penny a point ain’t F no one keeping C score

C Pass the paper G bag that holds the C bottle

Am Feel the wheels G rumblin’ ‘neath the C floor

Pre-Chorus:

And the Am sons of Pullman porters and the

Em Sons of engineers

Ride their G fathers’ magic carpets made of D steel

Am Mothers with their babes asleep

Em Rockin’ to the gentle beat

And the G rhythm of the G7 rails is all they C feel

Chorus:

F Good morning A – G merica how C are you?

Say Am don’t you know me F I’ m your native C son G7

I’m the C train they call the G City of Am New Orleans D7

I’ll be Bb gone five F hundred G miles when the day is C done

Verse:

C Night time on the G City of C New Orleans

Am Changing cars in F Memphis Tennes-C see

C Halfway home we’ll G be there by C morning

Through the Am Mississippi darkness

G Rolling down to the C sea

Pre-Chorus:

But Am all the towns and people seem to

Em Fade into a bad dream

And the G steel rail still ain’t heard the D news

The Am conductor sings his songs again

The Em passengers will please refrain

This G train got the dis-G7 appearing railroad C blues

Chorus:

F Good morning A – G merica how C are you?

Say Am don’t you know me F I’ m your native C son G7

I’m the C train they call the G City of Am New Orleans D7

I’ll be Bb gone five F hundred G miles when the day is C done
