The Midnight Special

Year: 1972 - Album: Chronicle Vol. 2: Twenty Great CCR Classics

Written by John Cameron Fogerty

	  		D                                G 
 Well, you wake up in the mornin' 
                            D 
 You hear the work bell ring 
                                A7 
 And they march you to the table 
                          D 
You see the same old thing 
                            G 
Ain't no food upon the table 
                         D 
And no fork up in the pan 
                                  A7 
But you'd better not complain, boy 
                               D 
You'll get in trouble with the man

Verse 2: G Yonder come Miss Rosie D How in the world did you know A7 By the way she wears her apron D And the clothes she wore G Umbrella on her shoulder D Piece of paper in her hand A7 She come to see the gov'nor D She wanna free her man

G Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me A7 Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me G Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me A7 Let the midnight special D Shine the ever-lovin' light on me

Verse 3: G If you're ever in Houston D Ooh, you'd better do right A7 You'd better not gamble D And you'd better not fight G Or the sheriff will grab ya D And the boys'll bring you down A7 The next thing you know, boy D Ooh, you're prison-bound
tabchorus
CHORUS: 2 x G Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me A7 Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me G Let the midnight special D Shine the light on me A7 Let the midnight special D Shine the ever-lovin' light on me
