City Of New Orleans - Steve Goodman Chord Chart Page 2

p. 2 City of New Orleans

And the sons of pullman porters, and the sons of engineers

Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel.

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

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

CHORUS

Nighttime on The City of New Orleans, changing cars in Memphis, Tennes-see.

Half way home, and we'll be there by morning, through the Mississippi darkness

Rolling down to the sea.

And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream

And the steel rails still ain't heard the news.

The con-ductor sings his song again, the passengers will please refrain

This train's got the disap-pearing railroad blues.

CHORUS ("Good night, America)
