Let the [A] midnight special
Shine a light [D] on me
Let the [G] midnight special
[Em] Shine a light [D] on me
Let the [A] midnight special
Shine a heaven-loving [D] light on me
Beyond the [G] covered door
Behind the [B] [D] wall, did you know
By the way she [A] wear her apron
And the [D] clothes she wore
Umbrella [G] on her shoulder
Piece of [D] paper in her hand
She's come to see [A] the governor
She wants to free [Bm] her [D] man
Let the [G] midnight special

Let the midnight [A] special

Well, if you're ever [G] in Houston
Oh, you [E] better be [D] right
You better [A] not gamble
You [D] better not fight
For the sheriff [G] will grab you
And the boss [D] will bring you down
The next [A] thing you know, boy
[E] You'll be [D] prison bound
Let the midnight [G] special
[Em] Shine a light [D] on me
Let the [A] midnight special
Shine a [D] light on me
Let [G] the midnight special
Shine a light on [D] me
Let the [A] midnight special
