[G] [C] [C#] [D] [G] Let [C] the Midnight Special shine [G] your light on me.
[Em] [G] Let the Midnight [F#] Special [D] [G] shine your ever-loving light on me.
The honor [Am] comes as a rose [C] out, and [G] the world do I know.
Well, I know of my [D] apron and the [G] dress she wore,
an [C] umbrella on her shoulder, a piece of [G] paper in her hand.
Well, [D] she's gonna see the governor, just [G] to leave her man.
Let [C] the Midnight Special shine [G] your light on me.
Let the Midnight [Bm] Special [G] shine your ever-loving light on me.
[G] When you get [C] up in the morning and the big [G] bell rang,
you go and [D] march to the table, same [G] doggone thing, no [C] force on the table.
There ain't [G] nothing in the pan, I didn't [D] say anything about it.
You have [G] trouble with a man, let [C] the Midnight Special [G] shine your light [Gm] on [Em] me.
[G] Let the Midnight [Bm] Special [G] shine your ever-loving light on me.
[C] [G]
[D] [F#] [G]
Well, if you [E] ever go to [C] Houston, boy, [G] you better walk right.
Well, you better not [D] squabble, and you better [Fm] not fight,
[G] that cop [C] will [Am] arrest you, he'll sure [Em] take you [G] down.
You can bet [D] you bought a dollar, [G] had you a jailhouse bound.
Let the [C] Midnight Special shine your [G] light on me.
Let [D] the Midnight Special [G] shine your ever-loving light on me.
[Em] [D#] [Em] [G] [N]
