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
CDm
'cause its midnight in montgomery
CDm
just hear that whipperwhill
CDm
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? 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
CDm
well hanks always singin' there
