E D A A
Did you hear about the midnight rambler?
E D A A
Everybody got to go
E D A A
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
E D A A
The one that shut the kitchen door?
D A E E
He don’t give a hoot of a warning,
D A E E
A-wrapped up in a black cat coat
D A E E
He don’t go in the light in the morning
D A E E
He’s split the time the cock’rel crows

E D A A
Talking about the midnight gambler,
E D A A
The one you’ve never seen before
E D A A
A-talking about the midnight gambler
E D A A
Did you see him jump the garden wall?
D A E E
A-sighing down the wind so sadly
D A E E
A-listen and you hear him moan
D A E E
Well I’m talking about the midnight gambler
D A E E
Everybody got to go

E D A
NC
Well I’m talking about the midnight...
E D A A
The one who closed the bedroom door?
D A E E
I’m called the hit and run, rape her in anger
D A E E
The knife sharpened tippy toed
D A E E
Or just the shoot him dead brain-belled jangler
D A E E
You know the one you never seen before
D A E E
So if you ever meet the midnight rambler
D A E E
A-crawling down your marble hall
D A E E
Well he prowling like a proud black panther
D A E E
You can say I, I told you so
D A E E
Well won’t you listen for the midnight rambler
D A E E
Play it easy as you go
D A E E
I’m gonna smash down your plate glass windows
D A E E
Put a fist through your steel plate door
[break]
E E E E
[verse 5]
E D A A
Did you hear about the midnight rambler?
E D A A
He’ll leave his footprints up and down your hall
E D A A
A-did you hear about the midnight gambler?
E D A A
A-did you see me make my midnight call?
D A E E
And if you ever catch the midnight rambler
D A E E
I’ll steal your mistress from under your nose
D A E E
Well go easy with your cold fandango
D A E E
I’ll stick my knife right down your throat, baby and it hurts
