All covered with snow
A7 E
I lost my true lover
A A7
By courting so slow

For courting's a pleasure

And a false-hearted lover

All covered with snow
A7 E
I lost my true lover

By courting so slow

however you can play a G
Verse 1:
(G) C
Well, you wake up in the morning
G
Hear the ding dong ring
D
You go marching to the table
G
See the same old thing
C
See the fork on the table
G
Nothing in your pan
D
If you say a thing about it
G
You're in trouble with the man
CHORUS:
G7 C
Let the midnight special
G
Shine a light on me
D
Let the midnight special
G
Shine its everlovin' light on me
Verse 2:
G7 C
If you ever go to Houston
G
Well you'd better act right
D
And you'd better not gamble
G
And you'd better not fight
C
For the sheriff will arrest you
G
And he'll take you down
D
And before you understand it
G
You are prison bound
CHORUS:
G7 C
Let the midnight special
G
Shine a light on me
D
Let the midnight special

Shine its everlovin' light on me (on me, on me)
[Play CHORUS two more times, then fade fourth time around.]
