Midnight In Montgomery [Am] - Alan Jackson
[Intro]
[Am] [G] [Am] [G]
[Verse 1]
[Am] Midnight in Montgomery
Silver [G] Eagle, Lonely Road
I [F] was on my way to Mobile
For a [Am] big New Year's Eve show
[Am] Stopped for just a minute
To see a [G] friend outside of town
My [F] collar up, I found his name
[E7] Felt the wind die down
And a [Am] drunk man in a cowboy hat
[G] took me by surprise
wearin' [F] shiny boots, a nudie suit
and [Am] haunted, haunted eyes
[Am] he said, friend its good to see you
its [G] nice to know you care
and the [F] wind picked up and he was gone or was he
[E7] ever really there
|[Chorus]
|'Cause it's [G] midnight in Montg[Am]omery
|Just [G] hear that whip-poor-[Am]will
|See the [G] stars light up the [Am] purple sky
|[E7] Feel that lonesome chill
|'Cause when the [G] wind is right you'll hear his song,
|Smell [Am] whiskey in the air
|[G] Midnight in Mont[F]gomery
|He's [E7] always singin' [Am] there
[Verse 2]
[Am] I climbed back on that eagle
took [G] one last look around
[F] red tail lights, shadow moves [Am] slow across the ground
[Am] off somewhere a midnight train
[G] slowly passes by
I can [F] hear that whistle blowin'
I'm so [E7] lonesome I could cry
|[Chorus]
|'Cause it's [G] midnight in Montg[Am]omery
|Just [G] hear that whip-poor-[Am]will
|See the [G] stars light up the [Am] purple sky
|[E7] Feel that lonesome chill
|'Cause when the [G] wind is right you'll hear his song,
|Smell [Am] whiskey in the air
|[G] Midnight in Mont[F]gomery
|He's [E7] always singin' [Am] there
|He's [E7] always singin' [Am] there [G]
|[NC] Well Hank's always singin' there [Dm]
[Outro Riff]
