Dm 
Midnight in Montgomery 
       C 
Silver Eagle, Lonely Road 
  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 haunted, 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 really there
[Ritornello]
            C                Dm 
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery 
     C                   Dm 
Just hear that whip-poor-will 
        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 whiskey in the air 
C               Bbsus2 
Midnight in Montgomery 
     A              Dm 
He's always singin' there
[Versetto]
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
[Ritornello]
            C                Dm 
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery 
     C                   Dm 
Just hear that whip-poor-will 
        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 whiskey in the air 
C               Bbsus2 
Midnight in Montgomery 
     A              Dm 
He's always singin' there 
     A              Dm   C 
He's always singin' there 
N.C.                            Dm 
Well Hank's always singin' there
