Midnight In Montgomery

4 4 5 5 5 -4
Mid-night in Mont-gom-ery

4 -4 4 4 4 4 4
Sil-ver ea-gle, lone-ly road

4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
I was on my way to Mo-bile

4 4 4 4 4 4 4
For a big New Years Eve show

5 4 5 4 5 5 4
I stopped for just a min-ute

4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
To see a friend out-side of town

4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Put my col-lar up, I found his name,

4 4 5 6 -4 4
And felt the wind die down

5 5 4 4 5 5 4 -4
And a drunk man in a cow-boy

4 -4 4 4 4 -4
Hat took me by sur-prise

4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Wear-ing shi-ny boots, a Nu-di suit

4 4 4 4 4 4
And haunt-ing haunt-ed eyes

-4 5 4 4 4 5 5 4
He said “Friend it’s good to see you

4 4 4 4 4 -4
It’s nice to know you care”

4 4 4 4 4
Then the wind picked up

4 4 4 4
And he was gone

4 -4 4 5 4 6 -4
Was he ev-er real-ly there

CHORUS

6 -4 -5b 4 5 4 4
It’s mid-night in Mont-gom-ery

4 4 4 4 -6b 6
Just hear that whip-poor will

-6b -6b 4 4 -4
See the stars light up

-6b 4 5 4
The pur-ple sky

4 5 4 5 4
Feel that lone-some chill

-6b -6b -4 -6 -4
When the wind is right

-6b -4 -6 -4
You’ll hear a song

-6b 5 -6b 4 -6b 4
Smell whis-key in the air

-4 4 4 5 4 4
Mid-night in Mont-gom-ery

4 4 4 4 4 4
He’s al-ways sing-ing there

VERSE 2

I climbed back on my eagle
Took one last look around
Through red tail lights a
Shadow moved slow across the ground
Off somewhere a midnight
Train is slowly passing by
I could hear that whistle moaning
I’m so lonesome I could cry

REPEAT CHORUS

4 4 4 4 4 4
He’s al-ways sing-ing there

4 4 4 4 4 4
Hank’s al-ways sing-ing there
