Dm
midnight in montgomery
C
silver eagle, lonely roads
Bb
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
Bb
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
Bb
wearin' shiny boots, a nudie suit
Dm
and haunt, haunted eyes
Dm
he said, friend its good to see you
C
its nice to know you care
Bb
and the wind picked up
and he was gone or was he
A
ever realy there
(refrão)
C
Dm
'cause its midnight in montgomery
C
Dm
just hear that whipperwhill
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 wiskey in the air
C
Bb
Midnight in montgomery
A
Dm
He's always singin' there
Dm
I climbed back on that eagle
C
took one last look around
Bb
Dm
red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground
Dm
off somewhere a midnight train
C
slowly passes by
Bb
I can hear that whistle blowin'
A
I'm so lonesome I could cry
(refrão)
C
Dm
