Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][Bb][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Well, you wake up in [G]the mornin',
you hear the ding dong [D]ring
They'll march you to the [A]table,
you see the same [D]old thing
Knife and fork on the [G]table,
nothin' in [D]the pan
And if you say anythin' [A]about it,
[D]you're in [G]trouble [D]with the man

[Verse 2]
Let the Midnight [G]Special shine a light on [D]me
Let the Midnight [A]Special shine
it's [Bb]ever lovin' [A]light [D]on me

[Verse 3]
Well if you're [D]ever [G]go to Houston,
well, you better walk [D]right
And you better not [A]stagger,
and you better not [D]fight
Sheriff Benson will [G]ar rest you
and he'll carry you [D]down
And you can bet your bottom [A]dollar,
you're penit[D]entiary bound

[Verse 4]
Let the [D]Midnight [G]Special
shine [D]a light on me
Let the Midnight [A]Special shine
a [Bb]ever lovin' [A]light on me

[Verse 5]
[D]Well yonder com[G]e Miss Rosie,
how in the world do you [D]know?
I can tell her by her [A]apron,
and the dress she [D]wore
Umbrella [G]on her shoulder,
piece of paper in her [D]hand
Well she's marched up to the [A]captain,
says I want my [D]man

[Verse 6]
Let the [G]Midnight Special
[D]shine it's light on me
Let the Midnight [A]Special
shine a ever [Em]lovin'
Ever lovin', [G]ever lovin', light [A]on [D]me

[Outro 1]
[D]
