Riding on the | City of New Or | leans |

Illinois Central, | Monday morning | rail |

Fifteen cars and fi | fteen restless | riders |
| Bm | A | D |
Three con | ductors, and t | wenty five sacks of | mail |
| Bm |
All a | long the southbound odyssey |
| F#m |
The | train pulls out of Kankakee |
| A | E |
And | rolls along the houses, farms and | fields |
Bm |
Passing trains that have no name |

And | freight yards full of old black men |

And | graveyards of the rusted automo | biles |

Pass the paper | bag that holds the | bottle |

And | feel the wheels | rumbling ‘neath the | floor |
| Bm |
And the | sons of Pullman porters |
| F#m7 |
And the | sons of engineers |
| A | E |
Ride their | fathers’ magic carpet made of | steel |
Bm |
Mothers with their babes asleep |
F#m7 |
Rocking to the gentle beat |
| A | D |
And the | rhythm of the rails is all they | feel |
G | A | D |
Good morning Am | erica, how a | re you? |

Changing cars in | Memphis, | Tennesee |

Halfway home, and | we’ll be there by | morning |

Through the | Misissippi darkness, | rolling down to the | sea |

But | all the towns and people seem |

To | fade into a bad dream |

The | steel rail still ain’t heard the | news |

The | conductor sings his songs again |

The | passengers will please refrain |

This | train’s got the disappearin’ railroad | blues |

‘Cause the | girls they are so pretty |

Riding up and down Broadway |

Of my c | owboy reputation |

And then I was | saved, | yeah |

That’s why I’m keeping the | faith |
Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos

I | put on my shark skin jacket |
You know the kind with the velvet collar
I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans and his Old Spice after shave

Combed my | hair in a pompadour |
Like the rest of the Romeos wore

Learned stickball as a formal education |
Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O.K.

I | heard about sex but not enough |

I found you could dance and still look tough any | way |
I found out a man ain’t just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food drank a lot of take-home pay
| D |
I | thought I was the Duke of Earl |
When I made it with a red-haired girl
| E6 |
We were keeping the | faith |

You can | get just so | much from a | good thing |

She’s a | real nice girl and she’s | always there for | you |

| E | D | A |
Oh, l | isten boy, I’m sure that you think you got it a | ll under cont | rol |

You don’t w | ant somebody telling you the way to st | ay in someone’s s | oul |

You’re a | big boy now and you’ll n | ever let her | go |

From a | town known a | s Wheeling, West Vi | rginia |
| G | Em | F | C | D |
Rode | a boy with a | six-gun in his | hand | | |

And his | daring life of c | rime made him a le | gend in his t | ime |
| G/B | Am7 | D7sus |
East | and | west of the | Rio Grande |

Well, he sta | rted with a | bank in Color | ado |

In the po | cket of his v | est a Colt he h | id | | |
| G | Em |
And his | age and his s | ize |

Took the t | eller by surpr | ise | and |
Am7 | D7sus |
The word spread | of Billy the Kid |

Well he | never traveled h | eavy, yes he | always rode al | one |

And he so | on put many o | lder guns to sha | me |

And he ne | ver had a sw | eetheart, and he n | ever had a h | ome |

But the | cowboy and the rancher knew his name | | |

Well, he r | obbed his way from | Utah to Oklah | oma |
| G | Em | F | C | D |
And the l | aw just could not s | eem to track him | down | | |

And it se | rved his legend | well, for the f | olks they’d love to te | ll | ’bout |
Am7 | D7sus |
When Billy the Kid | came to town |

Well o | ne cold day a p | osse captured B | illy |

Well he n | ever traveled he | avy, yes he | always rode al | one |

Well I’m | on the Downe | aster Al | exa |

And I’m | cruising through | Block Island | Sound |
| C | G | Am |
I have | charted a | course to the | Vineyard |
| Em | D | C |
But to | night I am | Nantucket | bound |
C | D | G | C |
We took on | diesel back in | Montauk | yesterday |
C | D | Em | D/F# |
And left this | morning from the | bell in Gardiner’s | Bay |
C | D | G | C |
Like all the | locals here I’ve | had to sell my | home |
C | D | Em | D/F# |
Too proud to | leave I worked my | fingers to the | bone |
| G | D | Em |
So I could | own my Downe | aster Ale | xa |
| G | D | C |
And I | go where the | ocean is | deep |
| C | G | Am |
There are | giants out | there in the | canyons |
| G | D | C |
And a | good captain | can’t fall | asleep |
C | D | G | C |
I’ve got | bills to pay and | children who need | clothes |
C | D | Em | D/F# |
I know there’s | fish out there | but where God only | knows |
C | D | G | C |
They say these | waters aren’t | what they used to | be |
C | D | Em | D/F# |
But I’ve got | people back on | land who count on | me |
| G | D | Em |
So if you | see my Downe | aster Al | exa |
| G | D | C |
And if you | work with the | rod and the | reel |
| C | G | Am |
Tell my | wife I am | trolling | Atlantis |
| G | D | C |
And I | still have my | hands on the | wheel |
| G | D | Em |
Now I | drive my Downe | aster Al | exa |
| G | D | C |
More and | more miles from | shore every | year |
| C | G | Am |
Since they | tell me I | can’t sell no | stripers |
| G | D | C |
And there’s | no luck in | swordfishing | here |
C | D | G | C |
I was a | bayman like my | father was | before |
C | D | Em | D/F# |
Can’t make a | living as a | bayman | anymore |
C | D | G | C |
There ain’t much | future for a | man who works the | sea |
C | D | Em | D/F# |
But there ain’t no | island left for | islanders like | me |

I | am the entertainer and I | know just where | I | stand |

A | nother serenade | r and another | long-haired b | and |

To | day I am your champion, I | may have won your hearts |

But I | know the game, you’ll fo | rget my name |
| Am7 | Cmaj7 |
And I | won’t be here in | another year |

If I | don’t stay on the ch | arts |
| G | C/E | G/D | C |
I | am the entertainer and I’ve | had to pay | my | price |

The | things I did not | know at first I learned by | doin’ | twice |

Ah, but | still they come to haunt me |

S | till they want their | say |

Let ‘em | rub my neck and I | write ‘em a check |
| D | G |
And they | go their merry wa | y |
| G | C/E | G/D | C |
I | am the entertainer, | been all around | the | world |
| C | G/B | C | D |
I’ve | played all kinds of palace | s and laid all | kinds of | girls |
| G | C/E | C |
I | can’t remember faces, | I don’t remember | names |
| C | D |
Ah, but | what the hell, you know it’s | just as well |
| Am7 | Cmaj7 |
‘Cause a | fter a while and a t | housand miles |
D | G |
It all becomes the s | ame |
| G | C/E | G/D | C |
I | am the entertainer, I | bring to you | my | songs |
| C | G/B | C | D |
I’d | like to spend a | day or two, but I can’t | stay that | long |
| G | C/E | C |
No, I’ve | got to meet expenses, I | got to stay in | line |
| C | D |
Gotta | get those fees to the | agencies |
| Am7 | Cmaj7 |
And I’d | love to stay but there’s | bills to pay |
| D | G |
So I | just don’t have the ti | me |
| G | C/E | G/D | C |
I | am the entertainer, I | come to do | my | show |
| C | G/B | C | D |
You’ve | heard my latest recor | d, it’s been on the | radi | o |
| G |
Ah, it | took me years to write it, they were the |
C/E | C |
Best years of my | life |
| Cmaj7 | D |
It was a b | eautiful song, but it | ran too long |
| Am7 | C |
If you’re | gonna have a hit, you | gotta make it fit |
| D | G |
So they | cut it down to 3:0 | 5 |
G | C/E | G/D | C |
I am the entertainer, the | idol | of my | age |
| C | G/B | C | D |
I | make all kinds of mone | y when I go | on the | stage |
| G |
Ah, you’ve | seen me in the papers |
| C/E | C |
I’ve | been in the ma | gazines |
| C | D |
But if | I go cold I | won’t get sold |
| Am7 | C |
I’ll get | put in the back in the | discount rack |
| D | G |
Like a | nother can of be | ans |
| G | C/E | G/D | C |
I | am the entertainer and I | know just where | I | stand |

A | nother serenader and | another | long-haired b | and |

To | day I am your champion, I | may have won your | hearts |

But I | know the game, you’ll fo | rget my name |

And I | won’t be here in | another year |
| D | G |
If I | don’t stay on the ch | arts |
A | A/G# | A/F# | Amaj7/E | D | A |
If | you | said | good | bye to me ton | ight |
A | A/G# | A/F# | Amaj7/E | B | E |
There | would | still | be | music left to | write |
C# | F#m |
What else could | I do |
E7 | A | A7 |
I’m so insp | ired | by you |
D | Bm | E | A |
That hasn’t | happened for the | longest | time |
A | A/G# | A/F# | Amaj7/E | D | A |

E7 | A | A7 |
And how you n | eeded | me too |

C#m | F#m |
Maybe I’ve been | hoping too hard |

But | I’ve gone this far |
| E | E7 |
And it’s | more than I | hoped for |
A | A/G# | A/F# | Amaj7/E | D | A |
Who | knows | how | much | further we’ll go | on |
A | A/G# | A/F# | Amaj7/E | B | E |
May | be I’ | ll | be s | orry when you’re | gone |

In the middle of (I go | walking in) |

In the middle of (I go walking in) |
| G |
In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in my sleep
| G7 | C |
From the | mountains of | faith |
| Cmaj7 | D |
To the | river so | deep |
| G |
I must be looking for | something |
Something sacred I lost
| G7 | C |
But the | river is | wide |
| Cmaj7 | D |
And it’s | too hard to | cross |
Em | Gmaj7 |
And even though I know the | river is wide |
| Cmaj7 | G |
I walk | down every evening and | stand on the shore |
Cmaj7 | Gmaj7 |
I try to cross to the | opposite side |
| A7 | D |
So I can | finally find out what I’ve been | looking for |
| G |
In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in my sleep
| G7 | C |
Through the | valley of | fear |
| Cmaj7 | D |
To a | river so | deep |
| G |
I’ve been searching for | something |
Taken out of my soul
| G7 | C |
Something | I could never | lose |
| Cmaj7 | D |
Something | somebody | stole |
| Em | Gmaj7 |
I | don’t know why I go | walking at night |
| Cmaj7 | G |
But now I’m | tired and I don’t want to | walk anymore |
| Cmaj7 | Gmaj7 |
I | hope it doesn’t take the | rest of my life |
| A7 | D |
Until I | find what it is I’ve been | looking for |
| G |
In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in my sleep
| G7 | C |
Through the | jungle of | doubt |
| Cmaj7 | D |
To the | river so | deep |
| G |
I know I’m | searching for something |
Something so undefined
| G7 | C |
That it can | only be | seen |
| Cmaj7 | D |
By the | eyes of the | blind |
| G |
In the middle of the | night |
G |
I go walking in the, in the middle of the |

I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |

I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |

Em | Gmaj7 |
I’m not sure about a | life after this |
| Cmaj7 | G |
God | knows I’ve never been a | spiritual man |
Cmaj7 | Gmaj7 |
Baptized by the | fire |
| A | D |
I wade into the | river that is running through the | promised land |
| G |
In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in my sleep
| G7 | C |
Through the | desert of | truth |
| Cmaj7 | D |
To the | river so | deep |
| G |
We all end in the | ocean |
We all start in the streams
| G7 | C |
We’re all | carried a | long |
| Cmaj7 | D |
By the | river of | dreams |
| G |
In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in the, in the middle of the

I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |

You | never understood that it | ain’t no good |

You | shouldn’t let other | people get your | kicks for you |

At Napoleon in rags | and the language that he used |

Go to him now, he | calls you, you | can’t refuse | |
F | Em | Dm7 | C |
When you ain’t got | nothing, you got | nothing to los | e |

| Em |
On a | long and lonesome highway east of Omaha |
| D |
You can | listen to the engine, moanin’ out its one note song |
| A | Em |
You can | think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night | before |
| Em |
And your | thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do |
| D |
When you’re | riding sixteen hours and there’s nothing much to do |
| A | Em |
You | don’t feel much like writing, you just wish the trip was through | |
| D | Em |
But here I | am, on the | road again |
| D | Em |
Here I | am, up on | stage |
| D | A |
Here I | go, playing the | star again |
| C | D | Em |
There I | go, | turn the | page |
Em |
You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road |
| D |
And you | feel the eyes upon you, as you’re shaking off the cold |
| A | Em |
You | pretend it doesn’t bother you, but you just want to | explode |
Em |
Sometimes you can hear ‘em talk, other times you can’t |
| D |
And it’s all the | same cliches is that a woman or a man |
| A | Em |
And you | always seem outnumbered, you don’t dare make a | stand |
| D | Em |
But here I | am, on the | road again |
| D | Em |
Here I | am, up on | stage |
| D | A |
Here I | go, playing the | star again |
| C | D | Em |
There I | go, | turn the | page |
Em |
Out there in the spotlight, you’re a million miles away |
D |
Every ounce of energy you try to give away |
| A | Em |
And the | sweat pours out your body like the music that you | play |
Em |
Later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed |
| D |
The | echoes of the amplifiers ringin’ in your head |
| A | Em |
And you | smoke the day’s last cigarette, remembering what she said | |
| D | Em |
But here I | am, on the | road again |
| D | Em |
Here I | am, up on | stage |
| D | A |
Here I | go, playing the | star again |
| C | D | Em |
There I | go, | turn the | page |
| D | Em |
But here I | am, on the | road again |
| D | Em |
Here I | am, up on | stage |
| D | A |
Here I | go, playing the | star again |
| C | D | Em |
There I | go, | there I | go |

I'm not out to go out there and cheat all night
Just like you did baby, but that's all right
Heh, I love you anyway, and I'm still going to be here for you till by dying day baby
Right now, I'm just in so much pain, baby, 'cause you just won't come back to me, will you?
Just come back to me!!!

I got my first real six-string |
E |
Bought it at the five-and-dime |
A |
Played it till my fingers bled |
A |
Me and some guys from school |
E |
Had a band and we tried real hard |
A |
Jimmy quit, Jody got married |
E |
I shoulda known we’d never get far |
F#m | E |
Oh when I | look back now |
A | D |
The summer seemed to | last forever |
F#m | E |
And if I | had the choice |
A | D |
Yeah I’d always | wanna be there |
F#m | E |
Those were the | best days of my life |
A |
Ain’t no use in complainin’ |
E |
When you got a job to do |
A |
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in |
E |
And that’s when I met you, yeah |
F#m | E |
Standin’ on your | mama’s porch |
A | D |
You told me that you’d | wait forever |
F#m | E |
Oh, and when you | held my hand |
A | D |
I knew that it was | now or never |
F#m | E |
Those were the | best days of my life |
| A | E |
Back in the summer of | ’69, o | h |
C | F |
Man we were | killing time |
| G | F |
We were | young and restless, we | needed to unwind |
C | F | G |
I guess | nothin’ can last for | ever, forever, no |
A |
And now the times are changin’ |
E |
Look at everything that’s come and gone |
A |
Sometimes when I play that old six-string |
E |
I think about you and what went wrong |
F#m | E |
Standin’ on your | mama’s porch |
A | D |
You told me that it’d | last forever |
F#m | E |
Oh, and when you | held my hand |
A | D |
I knew that it was | now or never |
F#m | E |
Those were the | best days of my life |

Back in the summer of | ’69 | , oh |
