Selection chords: Katie Paterson

     A     D     A
Well, you wake up in the morning, you hear the work bell ring,
     E     A
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.
     D     A
Ain’t no food upon the table, ain’t no fork up in the pan.
     E     A
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man.

Chorus:
     D     A
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
     E     A
Let the midnight special shine a light on me
     D     A
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
     E     A
Let the midnight special shine the ever lovinʼ light on me.

Yonder come miss rosie, how in the world did you know?
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand;
She come to see the govnor, she wanna free her man.

Chorus.

If youʼre ever in Houston, boy, you better walk right;
You better not gamble, oh you better not fight,
Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down.
The next thing you know, boy, youʼre penitentiary bound.

Chorus.
