Intro riff

Dm
midnight in montgomery
C
silver eagle, lonely roads
Bf
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
Bf
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
Bf 
wearin' shiny boots, a nudie suit
Dm 
and haunt, haunted eyes
Dm 
he said, friend its good to see you
C
its nice to know you care
Bf
and the wind picked up

and he was gone or was he 
A?
ever realy there

Chorus
C			    Dm
'cause its midnight in montgomery
C		       Dm
just hear that whipperwhill
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 wiskey in the air
C?		Bf
Midnight in montgomery
A?		      Dm
He's always singin' there

Intro riff

Dm
I climbed back on that eagle 
C 
took one last look around
Bf					Dm
red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground
Dm 
off somewhere a midnight train 
C
slowly passes by
Bf 
I can hear that whistle blowin'
A?
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Chorus

End

C			    Dm
well hanks always singin' there

Midnight in Montgomery, silver eagle, lonely road I was on my way to Mobile for a big New Year's Eve show I stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of town Put my collar up, I found his name, and felt the wind die down Then a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise Wearing shiny boots, a Nudi suit and haunting haunted eyes He said 'Friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care' Then the wind picked up and he was gone Was he ever really there 'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery Just hear that whipporwill See the stars light up the purple sky Feel that lonesome chill Cause when the wind is right, you'll hear his songs Smell whiskey in the air Midnight in Montgomery He's always singing there Well, I climbed back on that eagle, took one last look around Through red tail lights a shadow moved slow across the ground And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by I could hear that whistle moaning I'm so lonesome I could cry 'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery Just hear that whipporwill See the stars light up the purple sky Feel that lonesome chill Cause when the wind is right, you'll hear his songs Smell whiskey in the air Midnight in Montgomery He's always singing there He's always singing there Oh Hank's always singing there
