[Intro]
D

[Verse]
D
I got to run to keep from hiding
D
And I'm bound to keep on riding
D
And I've got one more silver dollar


[Chorus]
        Gm7
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
C                                    D
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider


[Verse]
D
I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
D
And the road goes on forever
D
And I've got one more silver dollar


[Chorus]
        Gm7
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
C                                    D
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

[Verse]
D
I've gone past the point of caring
D
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
D
And I've got one more silver dollar


[Chorus]
        Gm7
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
C                                   D
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

        Gm7
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
C                                 D
  Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

        Gm7
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
C                                 D
  Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

        Gm7
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
C                                 D
  Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
