The Midnight Special Chords & Tabs
The Midnight Special Bass Tab
Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Midnight Special
Note: I got help from my bass teacher (who got it by ear) to get the 100% correct bass
for this song! All the other bass TABs I have found for this song are complete
That's why I made this which is the original TAB... Good luck!
(Intro is played by the lead guitar)
