Dmi                     C
Midnight in Montgomery, silver eagle, lonely road
Bb                         Dm
I was on my way to Mobile for a big New Year's Eve show
Dmi                         C
I stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of town
Bb                                  A
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

C                           Dmi
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery
C                     Dmi
Just hear that whipporwill
C                               Dmi
See the stars light up the purple sky
A
Feel that lonesome chill
C
Cause when the wind is right, you'll hear his songs
Dmi
Smell whiskey in the air
C               Ami
Midnight in Montgomery
          Dmi
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
