The Midnight Special

	  		D                                G 
 Well, you wake up in the mornin' 
                            D 
 You hear the work bell ring 
                                A7 
 And they march you to the table 
                          D 
You see the same old thing 
                            G 
Ain't no food upon the table 
                         D 
And no fork up in the pan 
                                  A7 
But you'd better not complain, boy 
                               D 
You'll get in trouble with the man 
                 G 
Let the midnight special 
                   D 
Shine the light on me 
                 A7 
Let the midnight special 
                   D 
Shine the light on me 
                 G 
Let the midnight special 
                   D 
Shine the light on me 
                 A7 
Let the midnight special 
                      D 
Shine the ever-lovin' light on me

Verse 2:         
                  G 
Yonder come Miss Rosie 
                           D 
How in the world did you know 
                         A7 
By the way she wears her apron 
                     D    
And the clothes she wore 
                  G 
Umbrella on her shoulder 
                       D  
Piece of paper in her hand 
                     A7 
She come to see the gov'nor 
                    D 
She wanna free her man 
                 G 
Let the midnight special 
                   D 
Shine the light on me 
                 A7 
Let the midnight special 
                   D 
Shine the light on me 
                 G 
Let the midnight special 
                   D 
Shine the light on me 
                 A7 
Let the midnight special 
                      D 
Shine the ever-lovin' light on me

Verse 3: 
                   G 
If you're ever in Houston 
                      D 
Ooh, you'd better do right 
                  A7 
You'd better not gamble 
                      D 
And you'd better not fight 
                      G 
Or the sheriff will grab ya 
                           D 
And the boys'll bring you down 
                          A7 
The next thing you know, boy 
                    D 
Ooh, you're prison-bound 
  
CHORUS: 2 x  
                 G 
Let the midnight special 
                   D 
Shine the light on me 
                 A7 
Let the midnight special 
                   D 
Shine the light on me 
                 G 
Let the midnight special 
                   D 
Shine the light on me 
                 A7 
Let the midnight special 
                      D 
Shine the ever-lovin' light on me
