Verse
[Dm]Midnight in Montgomery
Silver [C]Eagle, Lonely Road
I [Bbsus2]was on my way to Mobile
For a [Dm]big New Year's Eve show
[Dm]Stopped for just a minute
To see a [C]friend outside of town
My [Bbsus2]collar up, I found his name
[A]Felt the wind die down
And a [Dm]drunk man in a cowboy hat
[C]took me by surprise
wearin' [Bbsus2]shiny boots, a nudie suit
and [Dm]haunted, haunted eyes
[Dm]he said, friend its good to see you
its [C]nice to know you care
and the [Bbsus2]wind picked up and he was gone or was he
[A]ever really there
Chorus
'Cause it's [C]midnight in Montg[Dm]Montgomery
Just [C]hear that whip-poor-[Dm]whip-poor-will
See the [C]stars light up the [Dm]purple sky
[A]Feel that lonesome chill
'Cause when the [C]wind
is right you'll hear his song,
Smell [Dm]whiskey in the air
[C]Midnight in Mont[Bbsus2]Montgomery
He's [A]always singin' [Dm]there
Verse
[Dm]I climbed back on that eagle
took [C]one last look around
[Bbsus2]red tail lights, shadow
moves [Dm]slow across the ground
[Dm]off somewhere a midnight train
[C]slowly passes by
I can [Bbsus2]hear that whistle blowin'
I'm so [A]lonesome I could cry
Chorus
'Cause it's [C]midnight in Montg[Dm]Montgomery
Just [C]hear that whip-poor-[Dm]whip-poor-will
See the [C]stars light up the [Dm]purple sky
[A]Feel that lonesome chill
'Cause when the [C]wind is
right you'll hear his song,
Smell [Dm]whiskey in the air
[C]Midnight in Mont[Bbsus2]Montgomery
He's [A]always singin' [Dm]there
He's [A]always singin' [Dm]there[C]there
Well Hank's always singin' ther[Dm]there
