[Intro] Bm A x2 [Verse 1]
   Bm                         A
Midnight in Montgomery, Silver Eagle, lonely road

     G                          Bm
I was on my way to Mobile, for a big New Year's Eve show

                                       A
I stopped for just a minute, to see a friend outside of town

       G                               Fm#7      F#7
Put my collar up, I found his name, and felt the wind die down
[Verse 2]
        Bm                      A
Then a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise

         G                            Bm
Wearing shiny boots, a Nudie suit, and haunting haunted eyes

                                            A
He said "friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care"

          G                                       F#m       F#
Then the wind picked up and he was gone, or was he ever really there?
[Chorus]
             A                Bm
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery

      A                 Bm
Just hear that whip-poor-will

         A                Bm
See the stars light up the purple sky

  F#
Feel that lonesome chill

                 A
'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his songs

        Bm
Smell whiskey in the air

 A                G
Midnight in Montgomery

      F#7          Bm
He's always singing there
[Interlude] Bm,A x2 [Verse 3]
      Bm                             A
So I climbed back on that Eagle, took one last look around

           G                              Bm
Through red tail lights, a shadow moved, slowly 'cross the ground

                                        A
And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by

       Bm                            F#
I can hear that whistle moan, I'm so lonesome I could cry
[Chorus]
             A                Bm
'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery

      A                  Bm
Just hear that whip-poor-will

 A                          Bm
See the stars light up the purple sky

  F#
Feel that lonesome chill

                 A
'Cause when the wind is right you'll hear his songs

        Bm
Smell whiskey in the air

 A                G
Midnight in Montgomery

      F#7           Bm
He's always singing there
[Outro]
       F#7          Bm
He's always singing there

      F#7                Bm
Oh, Hank's always singing there
