The Highwaymen City Of New Orleans WIDESCREEN chords
Start Jamming...
[D]
Riding [A] on the city of [D] New Orleans, [Bm] in the Baltimore sector.
[G] Monday morning, [D] rail, 15 cars [A] and 15 restless [D] riders,
[Bm] three conductors [A] and 25 sacks of [D] mail.
We're [Bm] coming along the southbound Odyssey,
[F#m] the train pulls out from Chantilly,
[A] and goes along past houses, farms [E] and fields to here.
[Bm] Passing trains that have no names,
[F#m] graveyards filled with old black men,
and [A] the graveyards of the rusted
[D] automobiles.
[G] But Martin, [A] Mary, Cuddy, [D] Harvey,
[Bm] don't you know me,
[G] I'm your native [D] son.
[A]
I'm [D] the train they call, [A]
say, [Bm] Honourable.
[E]
I'll [C] be gone [G] 900 [A]
miles when the day [D] is done.
Even Martin, the [A] old man in the club [D] car,
[Bm] many a point, very [G] cool one, keep in [D] store.
Pass the paper [A] bag that holds the [D] bottle,
[Bm] feel the breeze, [A] rock underneath the floor.
[D]
And [Bm] the sons of full-time hoarders,
[F#m] and the sons of engineers,
ride [A] their fathers' magic car made made of [E] steel,
and [Bm] others work in clay and steel.
[F#m] Rock and cuckoo's kettle beeps,
and [A] the rail line on the rail moves all [D] day peace.
[G] [A] Good morning America, [D] how are you?
[Bm] Hey, don't you know me, [G] I'm your native [D] son.
[A]
I'm [D] the train they call, the [A] City of [Bm] New Orleans.
[D] [E]
I'll [C] be gone [G] 900 [A] miles when the day [D] is done.

[Bm] changing cars [G] in Memphis, Tennessee.
[D]
Halfway [A] home, we'll be there by [D] morning,
[Bm] with the Mississippi garden [A] rolling down [D] the street.
But [Bm] the cow, people seem to [F#m] stray into bad dreams.
I'm [A] the steel rail, still ain't heard [E] the news.
[Bm] I'm Dr.
Samuel Sons, again.
[F#m] Passengers will keep refrains,
[A] this train has got the disappearing [D] old blues.
[G] Good morning [A]
America, [D]
[Bm] [G] I'm your native [D] son.
[A]
I'm [D] the train they call, [A] the City of [Bm] New [E] Orleans.
I'll be [C] gone [G] 900 [A] miles when the day is [D] done.
[C] I'll be gone [G] 900 [A] miles when the day [D] is done.

miles when the day [Dm]
is done.
