Badd5 Aadd2Aadd2 E MajorE add5 add5 (x4)
          BB    add5    A augmentedA add2  E MajorE     add5 add5  add5 add5
   Did you hear about the midnight rambler?
   That everybody got to go
   Did you hear about the midnight rambler?
   The one that shut the kitchen door

               A augmentedA  add2   BB add5 E MajorE   add5 add5 add5 add5
            He don’t give a hoot of warning
            Wrapped up in a black cat cloak
            He don’t go in the light of the morning
            He split the time the cock’rel crows
                                           E MajorE add5 add5 add5 add5 (x4)

   Talkin’ about the midnight gambler
   The one you never seen before
   Yeah, talkin’ about the midnight gambler
   Did you see him jump the garden wall?

            Sighin’ down the wind so sad
            Listen and you’ll hear him moan
            Well, I’m talkin’ ’bout the midnight gambler
            Everybody got to go
                  *Interlude*  E MajorE add5 add5 add5 add5 (x2) verse (x2)

            Did you hear about the midnight rambler?
            Well, honey, it’s no rock ’n’ roll show
            Well, I’m talkin’ about the midnight gambler
            Yeah, the one you never seen before
                  *Interlude*  BB jam (repeat)
                               ¨Don’t you do that¨ rap

   Well you heard about the Boston...
   It’s not one of those
   Well, I’m talkin’ ’bout the midnight (sh!)
   The one that closed the bedroom door

            I’m called the hit-and-run raper in anger
            The knife-sharpened tippie-toe
            Or just the shoot ’em dead, brainbell jangler
            You know, the one you never seen before

            So if you ever meet the midnight rambler
            Coming down your marble hall
            Well he’s pouncing like proud black panther
            Well, you can say I, I told you so

            Well, don’t you listen for the midnight rambler
            Play it easy, as you go
            I’m gonna smash down all your plate glass windows
            Put a fist, put a fist through your steel-plated door

   Did you hear about the midnight rambler
   He’ll leave his footprints up and down your hall
   And did you hear about the midnight gambler
   And did you see me make my midnight call

            And if you ever catch the midnight rambler
            I’ll steal your mistress from under your nose
            I’ll go easy with your cold fanged anger
            I’ll stick my knife right down your throat baby, and it hurts!...
