Dm
midnight in montgomery
C
silver eagle, lonely roads
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 haunt, 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 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 Bbsus2
Midnight in montgomery
A Dm
He’s always singin’ there
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
well hanks always singin’ there
