Midnight in Montgomery
Alan Jackson

Intro riff

[Dm]midnight in montgomery
[C]silver eagle, lonely roads
Bf
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
Bf
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
Bf
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
Bf
and the wind picked up

and he was gone or was he
A?
ever realy there

Chorus
[C]'cause its midnight in montg[Dm]omery
[C]just hear that whipperw[Dm]hill
[C]see the stars light up the purpl[Dm]e sky
A?
feel that lonesome chill
[C]'cause when the wind is right you'll hear his song,
Smell wi[Dm]skey in the air
C? Bf
Midnight in montgomery
A? Dm
He's always singin' there

Intro riff

[Dm]I climbed back on that eagle
[C]took one last look around
Bf Dm
red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground
[Dm]off somewhere a midnight train
[C]slowly passes by
Bf
I can hear that whistle blowin'
A?
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Chorus

[End]
[C]well hanks always singin' th[Dm]ere
