The Midnight Special
[Verse 1]
G C
Well you wake up in the morning,
C G
Hear the ding dong ring,
G D
You go marching to the the table,
D G
See the same damn thing.
G C
Well, its only one table,
C G
Knife fork and a pan.
G D
And if you say a thing a-bout it,
D G
You're in trouble with the man.
[Chorus]
C
Let the Midnight Special
C G
Shine her light on me.
G D
Let the Midnight Special
D G
Shine her ever lovin light on me.
[Verse 2]
G C
If you ever go to Houston,
C G
You'd better walk right,
G D
And you better not stagger,
D G
And you better not fight.
G C
Cause the sheriff will ar-rest you,
C G
And he'll carry you down,
G D
And you can bet your bottom dollar
D G
Your Sugar Land bound.
[Chorus]
C
Let the Midnight Special
C G
Shine her light on me.
G D
Let the Midnight Special
D G
Shine her ever lovin light on me.
[Verse 3]
G C
Lord Thelma said she loved me,
C G
But I believe she told a lie,
G D
Cause she hasn't been to see me,
D G
Since last Ju-ly.
G C
She brought me a little coffee,
C G
She brought me a little tea,
G D
She brough me nearly everything
D G
but the jail house key.
[Chorus]
C
Let the Midnight Special
C G
Shine her light on me.
G D
Let the Midnight Special
D G
Shine her ever lovin light on me..
