Intro
 
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 
 
Intro Riff
 
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
 
End 
 
C                           Dm
