Midnight Communion
Delbert McClinton

(INTRO) F, C, G, C

(VERSE 1)
 C                                           F
Down at the neon angel beneath the flashing star
            C              D               G
A rag tag congregation is gathered at the bar
 C                                           F
Searching for salvation for just an hour or two
                        C      G         C  
While a jukebox in the corner plays the blues

(CHORUS)
 C                               F      C
It's midnight communion down on second avenue
                                       D             G
They take to wine till closing time a fellowship of fools
 C                                                            F
Confessions heard forgiveness given from twelve o clock till two
               C                 G      C
It's midnight communion down on second avenue

F, C, G, C

(VERSE 2)
 C                                              F
There's no fallen angel who's lost the will to fly
                      C                        D                     G
But her broken wings still have their strength to hold you when you cry
 C                                                    F
Lord knows it's not the best place to lay my burdens down
                      C        G        C
But someone's always good for one more round

(CHORUS)

C, F, C, G, C

(CHORUS)

(ENDING)
      F        C                 G      C     F, C, G, C
It's midnight communion down on second avenue
