The Midnight Special

G                C               
Let the midnight special shine a 
         G
light on me
                 D7                
Let the midnight special shine her 
                     G
ever loving light on me

[Verse]
                         C
Well, you wake up in the morning
                      G
And it's the same old thing
         D7
Dehumanization
            G
By the inhumane
                            C
The warden's dog is treated better
                       G
And I can't take it no more
                             D7
Think it's time to turn some pages
(palm mute)      G
No more to study war

[Chorus]
G                C               
Let the midnight special shine a 
         G
light on me
                 D7                
Let the midnight special shine her 
                     G
ever loving light on me

                        C
If you're gonna run for office
             G
Then it's TV time
                           D7
Before you bet your soul's service
                 G
Let's talk about crime

                           C
Say I'll sweep them in the prisons
                         G
Whether they're sixty or tens
                    D7
Politicians throw a party
                    G
When they're put to death

[Chorus]
G                C               
Let the midnight special shine a 
         G
light on me
                 D7                
Let the midnight special shine her 
                     G
ever loving light on me

[Verse]
                      C
It's a billion dollar business
               G
It's a booming field
                  D7
It's a good stock invest
             G
Such booming years

                 C
Positions in the corporations
                      G
Jobs down in old Steeltown
                       D7
Seems like everybody's happy
'Cept those locked up and locked 
G
down

[Chorus]
G                C               
Let the midnight special shine a 
         G
light on me
                 D7                
Let the midnight special shine her 
                     G
ever loving light on me
G                     C          
Well Let the midnight special 
              G
shine a light on me
                 D7                
Let the midnight special shine her 
                     G
ever loving light on me
