G                           Am              F C         G 
Well  I just came up on the midnight special  how about that 
G                    Am  F  C                        G 
My car broke down in Texas  she stopped dead in her  tracks  
C              Bm       C      G 
Just called to tell you that I need you 
C              Bm             Am   D 
Just called to tell you how I feel 
G                    F      C              G 
I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel  
G                  F       C               G 
Feel like some old engine  lost my drivin wheel   
G                     Am         F  C                    G 
Took  my money on the night train   what a terrible fight    
                          Am               F C            G 
I gave my promise I would be there with you  by Saturday  night  
C       Bm       C      G 
I wanna tell you that I need you baby  
C         Bm                    Am    D 
I need to tell   you just how I feel 
  G                  F      C              G 
I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel  
G                  F      C              G 
Feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel  
G                   Am               F C               G           
Can't say much in a phone call  baby   you know how it is   
                   Am              F   C                   G 
I have to tell you one short thing oh  won't you listen to this 
C         Bm       C      G 
I want to tell you that I love you baby 
C          Bm                  Am  D 
I want to  tell you just how I feel  
  G                  F      C              G 
I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel  
G                  F      C              G 
Feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
