Midnight Special (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
suggested by Trenton
Chords Used: G-D-A7
Source: Tab
(Initially, single, slow strums of each chord)
[D]Well, you wake up in the mornin'[G]
You hear the work bell ring [D]
And they march you to the table [A7]
You see the same old thing [D]
Ain't no food upon the table [G]
And no fork up in the pan [D]
But you'd better not complain, boy [A7]
You'll get in trouble with the man [D]
(now speed up tempo and strum continuously; all subsequent verses have
same pattern as chorus)
CHORUS:
Let the midnight [G]special
Shine the light on [D]me
Let the midnight [A7]special
Shine the light on [D]me
Let the midnight [G]special
Shine the light on [D]me
Let the midnight [A7]special
Shine the ever-lovin' light on [D]me
Verse 2:
Yonder come Miss [G]Rosie
How in the world did you [D]know
By the way she wears her [A7]apron
And the clothes she [D]wore
Umbrella on her [G]shoulder
Piece of paper in her [D]hand
She come to see the [A7]gov'nor
She wanna free her [D]man
[CHORUS]
Verse 3:
If you're ever in [G]Houston
Ooh, you'd better do [D]right
You'd better not [A7]gamble
And you'd better not [D]fight
Or the sheriff will [G]grab ya
And the boys'll bring you [D]down
The next thing you [A7]know, boy
Ooh, you're prison D]bound
[Chorus TWICE; 2nd time, at last line, decelerate, with break at "light
on me," to final strum of D]
