Midnight Rider

Words & Music:

Gregg Allman

This is fully transcribed in Guitar World.

Drop D tuning (D A D G B D)

I got to run to keep from hiding.

And I'm bound to keep on riding.

And I've got one more silver dollar.

Gm7

But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no.

Am7 D

Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider.

I don't own the clothes I'm wearing.

And the road goes on forever.

And I've got one more silver dollar.

But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no.

Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider.

BRIDGE:

D Am7 Gm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7 Gm Gm7 Gm7addE Gm7 D

I've gone past the point of caring.

Some old bed I'll soon be sharing.

And I've got one more silver dollar.

But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no.

Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider.

No I'm not gonna let them catch me, no.

Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider. [repeat both lines 2x]
