Dm C Dm
C
[Verse 1]
DmMidnight in Montgomery,
silver CEagle, lonely road
I was Bbsus2on my way to Mobile,
for a Dmbig New Year's Eve show
I stopped for just a minute,
to see a Cfriend outside of town
Put my colBbsus2lar up, I found his name,
and A7felt the wind die Adown
[Verse 2]
And a Dmdrunk man in a cowboy hat
Ctook me by surprise
Wearing Bbsus2shiny boots, a Nudie suit,
and Dmhaunting haunted eyes
He said friend it's good to see you,
it's Cnice to know you care
Then the Bbsus2wind picked up and he was gone,
was he A7ever really there?
[Chorus]
'Cause it's Cmidnight in MontgoDmmery
Just Chear that whippoorwill Dm
See the starsC light up the purpDmle sky
A7FeelA7sus4 that loneA7some chill
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause when the Cwind is right you'll hear his songs
Smell Dmwhiskey in the air
Csus2Midnight in MontgoBbsus2mery
He's A7always singingDm there
[Verse 3]
C Dm C Well I Dmclimbed back on that Eagle,
took Cone last look around
Through Bbsus2red tail lights, a shadow moved,
Dmslow across the ground
And off somewhere a midnight train
is Cslowly passing by
I can Bbsus2hear that whistle moan,
I'm so A7lonesome I could cry
[Chorus]
'Cause it's Cmidnight in MontgoDmmery
Just Chear that whippoorwill Dm
See the starsC light up the purpDmle sky
A7FeelA7sus4 that loneA7some chill
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause when the Cwind is right you'll hear his songs
Smell Dmwhiskey in the air
Csus2Midnight in MontgoBbsus2mery
He's A7always singingDm there
[Outro]
C Dm C And Hank's Calways singing there Dm
