[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
