         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			    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?		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			    Dm
well hanks always singin' there
