To help us singing with you Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the work bell ring, And they march you to the table to see the same old thing. Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan. But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' 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 gov'nor, she wants to free her man. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me. If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do the right; You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down. The next thing you know, boy, Oh! You're prison bound. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a ever lovin' light on me. Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me, Let the Midnight Special shine a everlovin' light on me.

I think it can sound good to switch between C/G or even D/C in this song instead of just doing hammer ons of D/G. I’m assuming he just forgot to do that but it can sound cool and add another dynamic to throw a C chord interchangeable with D/C instead of hammering on.

@rogerpoindexter7764 2 жыл бұрын

Its DDU(D)UDU also known as the most popular strum in the world. Thousands of songs use this pattern. In this song the 2nd and 4th D is a percussive strum. I was told by a guitar teacher and friend to practice that strum until you can carry on a conversation while playing it . The singing over it isn't a problem. Hope this helps.
