DGD
Well, you wake up in the mornin, you hear the work bell ring,
A7D
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.
GD
Ain t no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan.
A7D
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man.
GD
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
A7D
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
GD
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
A7D
Let the midnight special shine a everlovin light on me.
DGD
Yonder come Miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
A7D
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore.
GD
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand;
A7D
She come to see the govnor, she wants to free her man.
GD
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
A7D
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
GD
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
A7D
Let the midnight special shine a everlovin light on me.
DGD
If you re ever in Houston, well, you better do the right;
A7D
You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all
GD
Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down.
A7D
The next thing you know, boy, oh! You re prison bound.
GD
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
A7D
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
GD
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
A7D
Let the midnight special shine a everlovin light on me. 2x
