G                        C
WELL, YOU GET UP IN THE MORNIN'
                         G
YOU HEAR THE DING DONG RING
                         D7
AND YOU LOOK UP ON THE TABLE
                         G C G
YOU SEE THE SAME DAMN THING

THERE AIN'T NO FOOD UPON THE TABLE
THERE AIN'T NO PORK UP IN THE PAN
IF YOU SAY A THING ABOUT IT
YOU GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE MAN

CHORUS
G                   C
SO LET THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
                  G
SHINE A LIGHT ON ME
                    D7

SHINE IT'S EVER LOVIN' LIGHT ON ME


IF YOU'RE EVER IN HOUSTON
BOY YOU BETTER WALK RIGHT
YOU BETTER NOT GAMBLE
AND YOU BETTER NOT FIGHT

'CAUSE THE SHERIFF HE WILL GRAB YOU
AND HIS BOYS'LL PUT YOU DOWN
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT
YOU'RE PENITENTARY BOUND

AND BY THE CLOTHES SHE WORE

SHE 'S GOT AN UMBRELLA ON HER SHOULDER
SHE'S GOT A PAPER IN HER HAND
SHE'S BEEN TO SEE THE GUV'NER
TRYIN' TO FREE HER MAN
