Midnight Special

Key C

Today I'm doing a train trip, actually traveling to Cold Spring Harbor in NY... so, what best than this great song from CCR?

-6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -5
Well, you wake up in the mornin',

-5 6 6 -5 -4 4
You hear the work bell ring,

4 4 -4 -4 4 4 -6 6
And they march you to the ta-ble,

6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
To see the same old thing.

-6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 6 -5
Ain't no food u-pon the table,

6 6 -5 -5 -4 -4 4
Aint no pork up in the pan.

4 4 -4 -4 4 4 -6 6
But you better not complain, boy,

6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 -4 -5
You get in trouble with the man.

CHORUS

-6 6 -6 -5 6 -5
Let the Midnight Special,

6 6 -5 -4 4
Shine a light on me,

4 4 -4 4 -6 6
Let the Midnight Special,

-6 6 -6 6 -5
Shine a light on me,

-6 6 -6 -5 6 -5
Let the Midnight Special,

6 6 -5 -4 4
Shine a light on me,

4 4 -4 4 -6 6
Let the Midnight Special,

-6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -5
Shine a e--verlo-vin' 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.

CHORUS

If you're ever in Houston,
Well, you better do the right;
You better not gamble,
You better not fight,
Or the sheriff he'll grab ya,
And the boys will bring you down.
The next thing you know, boy,
Oh! You're prison bound.

CHORUS

El meu avi

This is one of the most popular "Havanera" in the Catalan speaking countries. It's called "el meu avi" that means my granddad and it was known for most of the people in a "Catalan rumba style (by Los Manolos)" in 1992 at the Barcelona Olympic games.

It's another of my own tabs, so I hope it sounds good but if it doesn't at any point I appreciate any recommendation.

El meu avi, el meu avi, el meu avi, el meu avi

4 -5 -6 -6 -6 6 6 -5__-5 -5__-5 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 5
El Meu avi va anar Cuba a bordo del català.

5 -5 6 6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -5 6 6 -6 6 -5
el millor "barco" de guerra de la flota d'ultramar

4 -5 6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -7
El timoner, el nostre amo i catorze mariners

6 6 -6 -7 -6 6 -6 -5 -5 5 -4 4 4 4 5 6 -5
eren nascuts a Calella eren nascuts a Palafrugell

5 -5 6 6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -5 6 6 -6 6 -5
arribaren temps de guerra de perfídies i traïcions

5 -5 6 6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -5 6 6 -6 6 -5
i en el mar de les Antilles retronaren els canons

4 -5 6 -6 -6 6 6 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -7
Els mariners de Calella i el meu avi al mig de tots

Varen morir a coberta, varen sortir a peu del canó

Rest of the song:

Near the village,
the peaceful village,
the lions sleeps tonight.
Near the village,
the quiet village,
the lions sleeps tonight.

Hush my darling,
don't fear my darling,
the lions sleeps tonight.
Hush my darling,
don't fear my darling,
the lions sleeps tonight.

... and any other will be welcome! Mixing versions always sounds good to me.

(Note: Some times when I play this song I have tendency to play this other one. It's weird because they are totally unrelated.)
