[Verse 1]
G Well you wake up in the Cmorning,
C Hear the ding dong Gring,
G You go marching to the the Dtable,
D See the same damn Gthing.
G Well, its only one Ctable,
C Knife fork and a Gpan.
G And if you say a thing a-Dbout it,
D You're in trouble with the Gman.
[Chorus]
Let the Midnight CSpecial
C Shine her light on Gme.
G Let the Midnight DSpecial
D Shine her ever lovin Glight on me.
[Verse 2]
G If you ever go to CHouston,
C You'd better walk Gright,
G And you better not Dstagger,
D And you better not Gfight.
G Cause the sheriff will ar-Crest you,
C And he'll carry you Gdown,
G And you can bet your bottom Ddollar
D Your Sugar Land Gbound.

G Lord Thelma said she Cloved me,
C But I believe she told a Glie,
G Cause she hasn't been to Dsee me,
D Since last Ju-lGy.
G She brought me a little Ccoffee,
C She brought me a little Gtea,
G She brough me nearly Deverything
D but the jail house Gkey.
[Chorus]
Let the Midnight CSpecial
C Shine her light on Gme.
G Let the Midnight DSpecial
D Shine her ever lovin Glight on me..
