Midnight In Montgomery Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Midnight in Montgomery
Silver [G]Eagle, lonely road
I was [F]on my way to Mobile
For a [Am]big New Year's Eve show
Stopped for just a minute
To see a [G]friend outside of town
With my col[F]lar up, I found his name
And [E]felt the wind die down

[Verse 2]
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
He said: "Friend, it's good to see you,
It's [G]nice to know you care"
Then the [F]wind picked up and he was gone
Was he [E]ever really there?

[Chorus 1]
'Cause it's [G]midnight in Mont[Am]gomery
Just [G]hear that whip-poor-[Am]will
See the [G]stars light up the [Am]purple sky
[E]Feel that lonesome chill
'Cause when the [G]wind is right
You'll hear his songs
Smell [Am]whisky in the air
[G]Midnight in Mont[F]gomery
He's [E]always sin[Am]gin' [G]there
[Am][G]

[Verse 3]
Well, I [Am]climbed back on that eagle
Took [G]one last look around
Trough [F]red tail lights, a shadow moved
[Am]slow across the ground
And off somewhere a midnight train
Is [G]slowly passin' by
I can [F]hear that wistle moanin'
I'm so [E]lonesome I could cry

[Chorus 2]
'Cause it's [G]midnight in Mont[Am]gomery
Just [G]hear that whip-poor-[Am]will
See the [G]stars light up the [Am]purple sky
[E]Feel that lonesome chill
'Cause when the [G]wind is right
You'll hear his songs
Smell [Am]whisky in the air
[G]Midnight in Mont[F]gomery
He's [E]always sin[Am]gin' [G]there
He's always singin' [Am]there[G]
Well, Hank's always singin' [Am]there
