[Verse 1]
D G D
Get your ticket at the station - hear the whistle blow
A7 D
Well I sure hate to leave you - but I gotta go
[Chorus]
G D
Let the midnight special Shine the light on me
A7 D
Let the midnight special Shine the ever-lovin' light on me
[Verse 2]
D G D
If you're ever in Houston Ooh, you'd better walk right
A7 D
You'd better not gamble And you'd better not fight
G D
Or the sheriff will arrest ya And he’ll carry you down
A7 D
And the jury find you guilty Ooh, you're penitentiary bound
[Chorus]
G D
Let the midnight special Shine the light on me
A7 D
Let the midnight special Shine the ever-lovin' light on me
[Verse 3]
D G D
Yonder come Miss Rosie How in the world did you know
A7 D
By the way she wears her apron And the clothes she wore
G D
Umbrella on her shoulder Piece of paper in her hand
A7 D
She come to see the gov'nor She wanna free her man
[Chorus]
G D
Let the midnight special Shine the light on me
A7 D
Let the midnight special Shine the ever-lovin' light on me
[Verse 4]
D G D
When, you wake up in the mornin' You hear the work bell ring
A7 D
And they take for your breakfast - there ain’t a doggone thing
G D
Ain't no food upon the table And no fork up in the pan
A7
But you'd better not complain, boy
D
You'll get in trouble with the man
[Chorus]
G D
Let the midnight special Shine the light on me
A7 D
Let the midnight special Shine the light on me
G D
Let the midnight special Shine the light on me
A7 D
Let the midnight special Shine the ever-lovin' light on me
