            MIDNIGHT RIDER
THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND

[Intro]
D x 4
[Band Joins]
[Main riff x4]

[Verse]
Main riff over
I got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
And I've got one more silver dollar

[Chorus]
Gm
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
C MAIN RIFF x4
  Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

[Verse]
I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

[Solo]
Main Riff x 4

[Bridge]
C-Gm x3 (Hold on G on 3rd time)
Main Riff x 4

[Verse]
I've gone past the point of caring
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
And I've got one more silver dollar

[Chorus](Repeat 3x)
No I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

(Now, the album version fades out here.  The following is an optional ending, taken from 
a live performance with Sonny Landreth on slide guitar)

[Outro](Slide Solo)(keep this one goin’ for a while to stretch time)
Repeat Chorus ad-lib

[Ending]
(SLIDE GUITAR WILL PLAY CHORUS CHORDS, THEN)
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
CMAIN RIFF ONCE!
Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

HOLD ON C for a bit, then a final D chord
