[Am]freight yards of old black men And [C]graveyards... of [Bb]rusted automo[F]biles Chorus: [Bb]Good morning [C]America how [F]are you? Say [Dm]don’t you know me [Bb]I’m your native [F]son (C*) I’m the [F]train they call the [C]City of New [Dm]Orleans [Bb] I’ll be [Eb]gone five [Dm]hundred [C]miles when the day is [F]done Dealing [F]card games with the [C]old men in the [F]club car [Dm]Penny a point ain’t [Bb]no one keeping [F]score [F]Pass the paper [C]bag that holds the [F]bottle [Dm]Feel the wheels [C]rumbling ‘neath the [F]floor And the [Dm]sons of Pullman porters... and the [Am]sons of engineers Ride their [C]father’s magic carpets made of [G]steel [Dm]Mothers with their babes asleep [Am]rocking to the gentle beat And the [C]rhythm of the [Bb]rails is all they [F]feel Chorus: [Bb]Good morning [C]America how [F]are you?

[C]we’ll be there by [F]morning Through the [Dm]Mississippi darkness [C]rolling down to the [F]sea But [Dm]all the towns and people seem to [Am]fade into a bad dream And the [C]steel rail... still ain’t heard the [G]news The con[Dm]ductor sings his songs again... the [Am]passengers will please refrain This [C]train’s got the disapp[Bb]earing railroad [F]blues Chorus: x2 [Bb]Good night [C]America how [F]are you? Say [Dm]don’t you know me [Bb]I’m your native [F]son (C*)I’m the [F]train they call the [C]City of New [Dm]Orleans [Bb] I’ll be [Eb]gone five [Dm]hundred [C]miles when the day is [F]done I’ll be [Eb]gone five [Dm]hundred [C]miles when the day is [F]done
