City Of New Orleans

Roch Voisine

Ton : D
DRiding on the cAity of New OrleaDns
BmIllinois Central, MoGnday morning railD 
DFifteen cars and fiAfteen restless readerDs
BmThree conductors and tweGnty-five sacks of mDail
BmAll along the southbound Odyssey
F#mThe train pulls out of Kankakee
ARolling along past houses, farm and fieElds
BmPassin'towns that have no name
F#mfreight yards full of old black men
Aand the graveyards of the rA7usted oldmobileDs
Chorus
GGood morning, AA7mérica.How are youD ?
BmDon't you know me, i'mG your native sonD 
A7I'm tDrain they call the CityA of New OrleansBm A E C 
Gand I'll be gone five hunA7dred miles when the day is doneD 
DLes matins se suiAvent et se ressembleDnt
BmQuand l'amour faiGt place au quotidiDen
DOn n'était pas fait poAur vivre ensemblDe
BmCa ne suffit pas toGujours "s'aimer biDen"
BmC'est drôle hier on s'ennuyait
F#mEt c'est à peine si l'on trouvait
ADes mots pour parler du mauvais temEps
BmEt maintenant qu'il faut partir
F#mOn a cent mille choses à dire
AQui tiennent trop à coeA7ur pour si peu de tempDs
Chorus
GOn s'est aimé comA7me on se quitteD 
BmTout simplement sanGs penser à demaiDn
A7A demDain qui vient toujouArs un peu trop vitBme A E C 
GAux adieux qui quelA7ques fois se passent un peu trop bieDn
GOn s'est aimé comA7me on se quitteD 
BmTout simplement sansG penser à demaiDn
A7I'm tDrain they call the CityA of New OrleansBm A E C 
Gand I'll be gone five hundA7red miles when the day is doneD
