🎸 Verse:
                         C
Well, you wake up in the morning,
         Am       G
hear the dingdong ring
                      D
Ya go marchin' to the table,
                    G
ya see the same old things
           C
All on one table,
                    G
knife, a fork and a pan
                      D
And if ya say a thing about it,
                           G
you're in trouble with the man

🎸 Chorus:
                     C
Oh, let the Midnight Special
                   G
shine her light on me

shine her ever-lovin' light on me

If you ever go to Houston,

              D
Ya better not stagger,
                              G
And you knows, you'd better not fight
                  C                          G
The Sheriff he'll arrest you, he'll carry ya down
                         D
And if the jury finds ya guilty,
                    G

                           D
"Well, I knowed her by her apron
                  G
and the dress she wore
                 C
Umbrella on her shoulder,
                        G
a piece of paper in her han'
                          D
She goes a-walkin' to the captain,
                     D
said, 'Turn loose a my man!'"

                     C
Oh, let the Midnight Special
                   G
shine her light on me
