[Verse 1]
                     G             
Wake up early in the morning, hear 
              D
the ding-dong ring
                      A            
Comin' walking to the table, I see 
              D
the same damn thing
                        G          
Knife and fork upon the table, 
                 D
piece of paper in my hand
                 A                 
Nothing I can do about it, I get in
                  D
 trouble with the man

[Chorus]
                 G              
Let the midnight special shine a 
          D
light on me  2/4
                 A                 
Let the midnight special shine its 
          | A |      D
ever loving light on me

[Verse 2]
                  G                
If you ever go to Houston you 
      D
better act right
               A                   
You better not gamble and you 
      D
better not fight
                         G         
'Cause the sheriff will arrest you 
                    D
and he'll carry you down
                        A     
If they go and find you guilty 
                     D
you're penitentiary bound
