[Verse 1]
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

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
