Intro: Dm Dm C C Dm Dm C C
Dm C
Midnight in Montgomery. Silver Eagle. Lonely road
Am C
I was on my way to mobile for a big new year's eve show
Dm C
I stopped for just a minute to see a friend out side of town
Am C
Put my collar up. I found his name and felt the wind die down
Dm C
And drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise
Am C
Wearing shiny boots, a nudie suit and haunting haunted eyes
Dm C
He said, friend it's good to see you it's nice to know you care
Am C
Then the wind picked up and he was gone or was he ever really there
Chorus:
Dm C
It's midnight in Montgomery
Dm C
Just Hear That Whippoorwill
Dm C
See the stars light up the purple sky
Am C
Feel that lonesome chill
Dm
When the wind is right you'll hear his song
C
Smell whiskey in the air
Am
Midnight in Montgomery
C Dm
He's always singing there
**Repeat Intro
Dm C
I climbed back on that eagle took one last look around
Am C
Through the red taillights a shadow moved slowly across the ground
Dm C
Off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by
Am
And I can hear that whistle blowing
C
I'm so lonesome I could cry
**Chorus
C Dm
He's always singing there
N/C/ Dm
Hank's always singing there
