[Intro] G

G           C                      G
You get up in the morning'.  You hear the ding dong ring
              D7    C               G
And you look up on the table.  You see the same darn thing

                C                 G
You find no food upon the table.  No pork up in the pan
               D7       C                       G
But if you say a thing about it.  You'll be in trouble with the man

G             C                  G
Ah let the midnight special.  Shine a light on me
            D7       C                      G
Oh let the midnight special.   Shine its ever lovin' light on me

              C                    G
Now if you're ever in Houston.   Boy you better walk right
            D7       C              G
Ah, you better not gamble boy.  I say you better not fight

                  C                         G
Well now the sheriff he will grab you. And the boys will pull you down
            D7     C              G
And then before you know it.  You're penitentiary bound

G          C                   G
Let the midnight special.  Shine a light on me. Ooohhhh!
            D7       C                      G
Oh let the midnight special.   Shine its ever lovin' light on me

( G  C  G  D7  C  G )

        C                     G
Here comes Miss Lucie.  How in the world did you know?
              D7     C               G
I could tell by her apron.  And by the clothes she wore

           C                       G
An umbrella on her shoulder.  She's got a paper in her hand
           D7     C            G
She's gonna see the warden.  To try to free her man

 G            C                  G
So let the midnight special.  Shine a light on me
            D7       C                      G
Oh let the midnight special.   Shine its ever lovin' light on me

     G            C                  G
I said let the midnight special.  Shine a light on me.  Ooohhhh!
            D7       C                      G
Oh let the midnight special.   Shine its ever lovin' light on me
