D7 C G Oh let the midnight special. Shine its ever lovin' light on me. C G Now if you're ever in Houston. Boy you better walk right. D7 C G Ah, you better not gamble boy. I say you better not fight.

Shine a light on me. D7 C G Oh let the midnight special. Shine its ever lovin' light on me. G C G I said let the midnight special. Shine a light on me. Ooohhhh! D7 C G Oh let the midnight special.
