City of New Orleans

Arlo Guthrie made this song famous for songwriter and good pal, Steve Goodman. It's reflection of a day on the American rails is felt in the song and it's as fun to play as it is to sing. This is a great frailing song for folks on banjo or banjo uke. Practice full chord hammer-on technique on the chorus minor chords to give it an extra oomph in full railroad train effect.
