Cotton Smokey Midnight

(A)           D
On top of Old Smokey
                 A
All covered with snow
   A7          E
I lost my true lover
               A     A7
By courting so slow
                 D
For courting's a pleasure
               A
And parting is grief
                    E
And a false-hearted lover
                A     A7
Is worse than a thief
              D
On top of old Smokey
                 A
All covered with snow
  A7           E
I lost my true lover
               A
By courting so slow

Verse 1:
(G)                      C
Well, you wake up in the morning
                   G
Hear the ding dong ring
                       D
You go marching to the table
                 G
See the same old thing
                    C
See the fork on the table
                G
Nothing in your pan
                    D
If you say a thing about it
                           G
You're in trouble with the man

CHORUS:
G7               C
Let the midnight special
                 G
Shine a light on me
                 D
Let the midnight special
                              G
Shine its everlovin' light on me

Verse 2:
G7                C
If you ever go to Houston
                      G
Well you'd better act right
                     D
And you'd better not gamble
                     G
And you'd better not fight
                       C
For the sheriff will arrest you
                   G
And he'll take you down
                    D
And before you understand it
               G
You are prison bound

CHORUS:
G7               C
Let the midnight special
                 G
Shine a light on me
                 D
Let the midnight special
                              G
Shine its everlovin' light on me (on
 me, on me)
