Capo on 2nd fret
	  		Midnight Special - Willie Watson 
Capo II 

                         
NC                      D (one strum) 
Yonder comes Miss Rosie,  
                            A (one strum) 
How in the world do you know 
                                   Bm - E (one strum each) 
Well I knows about her by her apron 
                         A (one strum) 
& the dress that she wore 
                         D (one strum) 
Umbrella on her shoulder 
                           (begin strumming) A 
A piece of paper in her hand 
                            Bm 
Well she’s going to see the governor 
E 
Turn loose my man 

Chorus: 
A                D 
Let the midnight special 
                 A 
Shine it's light me 
                    Bm 
Oh let the midnight special 
E                              A 
Shine it's everloving light on me 

                         D (one strum) 
When you get up in the morning 
                    A (one strum) 
When that big bell rings 
                            Bm - E (one strum each) 
You go marching to the table 
                          A (one strum) 
You see the same damn thing 
                            D (one strum) 
Knife & fork are on the table 

Ain't nothin in my pan 
                   Bm (start strumming) 
& you say a word about it 
E                     A 
have trouble with the man 
{Chorus} 

A                D 
Let the midnight special 
                 A 
Shine it's light me 
                    Bm 
Oh let the midnight special 
E                              A 
Shine it's everloving light on me 

A                   D 
Well, jumpin little Judy 
                      A 
She was a mighty fine gal 
                 Bm 
And Judy brought jumpin 
E                  A 
To the whole round world 
                            D 
Well, she brought it in the morning 
                   A 
Just awhile before day 
                         Bm 
Well, she brought me the news 
E                A 
That my wife was dead 
                   D 
That started me to grieven 
                   A 
I gotta hollerin & cryin 
                Bm 
Then I begun to worry 
E                  A 
Bout my great very time 

{Chorus} 

A                D 
Let the midnight special 
                 A 
Shine it's light me 
                    Bm 
Oh let the midnight special 
E                              A 
Shine it's everloving light on me 


A                D 
Let the midnight special 
                 A 
Shine it's light me 
                    Bm 
Oh let the midnight special 
E                              A 
Shine it's everloving light on me 


                           D (one strum) 
So if you ever go to Houston 
                           A (one strum) 
Boys you'd better walk right 
                          Bm - E (one strum each) 
And you better not stagger 
                        A (one strum) 
And you better not fight 
                              D (one strum) 
sherif Broxton will arrest you 
                           A (begin strumming) 
cadet Boone will take you down 
                      Bm 
& you bet your bottom dollar 
E                  A 
your penitentiary bound 


{Chorus} - repeat x 2 

A                D 
Let the midnight special 
                 A 
Shine it's light me 
                    Bm 
Oh let the midnight special 
E                              A 
Shine it's everloving light on me
