Midnight in Montgomery

[Intro]

Dm Dm C C Dm Dm C C

[Verse]

Dm

Midnight in Montgomery

C

Silver Eagle, Lonely Road

Bbsus2

I was on my way to Mobile

Dm

For a big New Year's Eve show

Dm

Stopped for just a minute

C

To see a friend outside of town

Bbsus2

My collar up, I found his name

A

Felt the wind die down

Dm

And a drunk man in a cowboy hat

C

took me by surprise

Bbsus2

wearin' shiny boots, a nudie suit

Dm

and haunted, haunted eyes

Dm

he said, friend its good to see you

C

its nice to know you care

Bbsus2

and the wind picked up and he was gone or was he

A

ever really there

[Chorus]

C Dm

'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery

C Dm

Just hear that whip-poor-will

C Dm

See the stars light up the purple sky

A

Feel that lonesome chill

C

'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his song,

Dm

Smell whiskey in the air

C Bbsus2

Midnight in Montgomery

A Dm

He's always singin' there

[Verse]

Dm

I climbed back on that eagle

C

took one last look around

Bbsus2 Dm

red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground

Dm

off somewhere a midnight train

C

slowly passes by

Bbsus2

I can hear that whistle blowin'

A

I'm so lonesome I could cry

[Chorus]

C Dm

'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery

C Dm

Just hear that whip-poor-will

C Dm

See the stars light up the purple sky

A

Feel that lonesome chill

C

'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his song,

Dm

Smell whiskey in the air

C Bbsus2

Midnight in Montgomery

A Dm

He's always singin' there

A Dm C

He's always singin' there

N.C. Dm

Well Hank's always singin' there
