Midnight Special is notated as a lead sheet using 'slash' notation. Slash notation designates the inversion that must be played, by indicating the bass note after the slash. Thus, G/D indicates the chord of G major with a D in the bass. This is the same as saying D 6/4 or G 2nd inversion. (See suggested voicing below.) Slash notation is most frequently found in popular music lead sheets.
