C            F                           C 
Big midnight special shine your light on me 

             G7                                      C 
Big midnight special shine your ever loving light on me 


             F                         C 
Woke up this morning heard the whistle blow 

                G7                    C 
The jailer said come boy it's time to go 


C            F                           C 
Big midnight special shine your light on me 

             G7                                      C 
Big midnight special shine your ever loving light on me 


                   F                   C 
I’ve never had the blues so in my life before 

             G7                     C 
Till my baby left me at the station door 


C            F                           C 
Big midnight special shine your light on me 

             G7                                      C 
Big midnight special shine your ever loving light on me 


                  F                         C 
They put him in a Pullman guards around his door 

                G7                         C 
Sent you off to Atlanta to serve ten years more 


C            F                           C 
Big midnight special shine your light on me 

             G7                                      C 
Big midnight special shine your ever loving light on me 


              F                         C 
He looked all around him in the Pullman car 

                    G7                     C 
Saw the men wearing cloth hats smoking big cigars 


C            F                           C 
Big midnight special shine your light on me 

             G7                                      C 
Big midnight special shine your ever loving light on me 


                F                         C 
Took him off in Atlanta at the end of the line 

                       G7                      C 
Said you start serving time boy for your awful crime 


C            F                           C 
Big midnight special shine your light on me 

             G7                                      C 
Big midnight special shine your ever loving light on me 


                      F                        C 
That whistle makes me lonesome on the midnight train 

                   G7                              C 
But he knows I'm a waiting till it brings him home again 


C            F                           C 
Big midnight special shine your light on me 

             G7                                      C 
Big midnight special shine your ever loving light on me
