Tom: D D G Well, you wake up in the mornin' D You hear the work bell ring A7 And they march you to the table D You see the same old thing G Ain't no food upon the table D And no fork up in the pan A7 But you'd better not complain, boy D You'll get in trouble with the man CHORUS: G Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me A7 Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me G Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me A7 Let the midnight special D Shine the ever-lovin' light on me Verse 2: G Yonder come Miss Rosie D How in the world did you know A7 By the way she wears her apron D And the clothes she wore G Umbrella on her shoulder D Piece of paper in her hand A7 She come to see the gov'nor D She wanna free her man CHORUS: G Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me A7 Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me G Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me A7 Let the midnight special D Shine the ever-lovin' light on me Verse 3: G If you're ever in Houston D Ooh, you'd better do right A7 You'd better not gamble D And you'd better not fight G Or the sheriff will grab ya D And the boys'll bring you down A7 The next thing you know, boy D Ooh, you're prison-bound CHORUS: 2 x G Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me A7 Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me G Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me A7 Let the midnight special D Shine the ever-lovin' light on me
