C     G7     C     G7
Night rider, night rider

        C
You may think that it's the breeze

           C
Whispering through the lonely trees

         C                           D
But it's only him a-flying round the bend

  D                        G
    As the day comes to an end
(break) [Verse 2]
C     G7     C     G7
Night rider, night rider

        C
He came riding to town

       C
As the sun was going down

       C                             D
Saw my baby and he smiled her heart away

  D                       G
    Now, what will I do today?
(break) [Bridge]
Bb                   C
Cautioned my baby to stay at home

Bb                   C
 Not to leave mama's side

    Bb                           C
She laughed when I told her take care, take care

         Eb                     D
Or you'll share in his midnight ride
[Verse 3]
C     G7     C     G7
Night rider, night rider

          C
Since you stole her out of sight

        C
I ain't had a peaceful night

      C                            D
Night rider, won't you let my baby be?

  D                           G
    Come on, send her back to me
(break) [Bridge]
Bb                   C
Cautioned my baby to stay at home

Bb                   C
 Not to leave mama's side

    Bb                           C
She laughed when I told her take care, take care

         Eb                     D
Or you'll share in his midnight ride
[Verse 4]
C      G7     C     G7
 Night rider, night rider

          C
Since you stole her out of sight

        C
I ain't had a peaceful night

      C                            D
Night rider, won't you let my baby be?

  D                           G
    Come on, send her back to me
