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 MontgAmomery
Just G hear that whip-poor-Amwill
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 MontFgomery
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 MontgAmomery
Just G hear that whip-poor-Amwill
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 MontFgomery
He's E7 always singin' Am there
He's E7 always singin' Am there G
NC Well Hank's always singin' there Dm
