Dm
Midnight in Montgomery
       Cadd9
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
         Cadd9
To see a friend outside of town
   Bbsus2
My collar up, I found his name
A7
Felt the wind die down
      Dm
And a drunk man in a cowboy hat
Cadd9
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
    Cadd9
its nice to know you care
        Bbsus2
and the wind picked up and he was gone or was he
A7
ever really there
 
 
[Chorus]
            Cadd9           Dm
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
     Cadd9               Dm
Just hear that whip-poor-will
        Cadd9              Dm
See the stars light up the purple sky
A7
Feel that lonesome chill
                Cadd9
'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his song,
      Dm
Smell whiskey in the air
Cadd9           Bbsus2
Midnight in Montgomery
     A7             Dm
He's always singin' there
 
 
[Verse]
Dm
I climbed back on that eagle
     Cadd9
took one last look around
Bbsus2                        Dm
red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground
Dm
off somewhere a midnight train
Cadd9
slowly passes by
      Bbsus2
I can hear that whistle blowin'
       A7
I'm so lonesome I could cry
 
 
[Chorus]
            Cadd9           Dm
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
     Cadd9               Dm
Just hear that whip-poor-will
        Cadd9              Dm
See the stars light up the purple sky
A7
Feel that lonesome chill
                Cadd9
'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his song,
      Dm
Smell whiskey in the air
Cadd9           Bbsus2
Midnight in Montgomery
     A7             Dm
He's always singin' there
     A7             Dm   Cadd9
He's always singin' there
N.C.                            Dm
Well Hank's always singin' there
