[Intro]
[Verse]
D                        G                              D 
Well, you wake up in the mornin, you hear the work bell ring,
                          A7                        D 
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.
                       G                            D 
Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan.
                      A7                                      D 
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man.
[Chorus]
                 G                        D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 A7                       D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 G                        D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 A7                                 D 
Let the midnight special shine a everlovin light on me.
[Verse]
D                G                               D 
Yonder come Miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
                         A7                         D 
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore.
                G                               D 
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand;
                    A7                            D 
She come to see the govnor, she wants to free her man.
[Chorus]
                 G                        D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 A7                       D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 G                        D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 A7                                 D 
Let the midnight special shine a everlovin light on me.
[Verse]
D                 G                                D 
If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right;
               A7                            D 
You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all
                    G                                   D 
Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down.
                   A7                           D 
The next thing you know, boy, oh! You're prison bound.
[Chorus]
                 G                        D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 A7                       D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 G                        D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 A7                                 D 
Let the midnight special shine a everlovin light on me.
[Chorus]
                 G                        D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 A7                       D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 G                        D 
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
                 A7                                 D 
Let the midnight special shine a everlovin light on me.
