Midnight in Montgomery Alan Jackson
The Dm in all the verses has a little hammer-on variation going back
and forth from Dsus2 (xx0320) to Dm. See the intros and tabs posted
on this site if you want to see more detail on that.
Intro: Dm C9 (x2)
[Dm]Midnight in Montgomerey, Silver E[C9]agle, lonely road
I was [Bbsus2]on my way to Mobile for a [Dm]big New Year's Eve show
[Dm]I stopped for just a minute to see a f[C9]riend outside of town
Put my [Bbsus2]collar up, I found his name, and f[A7]elt the wind die down
And a d[Dm]runk man in a cowboy hat t[C9]ook me by surprise
Wearing [Bbsus2]shiny boots, a Nudi suit, and h[Dm]aunting haunted eyes
He said, [Dm]friend it's good to see you, it's [C9]nice to know you care
Then the [Bbsus2]wind picked up and he was gone, was he [A7]ever really there
Chorus:
Cause it's m[C9]idnight in Montg[Dm]omery, just h[C9]ear that whippoorw[Dm]ill
See the s[C9]tars light up the p[Dm]urple sky, f[A7]eel that lonesome chill
When the w[C9]ind is right you'll hear his song, smell w[Dm]hiskey in the air
[C]Midnight In Mon[Bbsus2]tgomery, he's [A7]always singing t[Dm]here
(repeat intro)
Well I c[Dm]limbed back on that Eagle, took [C9]one last look around
Through [Bbsus2]red tail lights, a shadow moved [Dm]slow across the ground
And [Dm]off somewhere a midnight train is s[C9]lowly passing by
I could [Bbsus2]hear that whistle moan, "I'm so l[A7]onesome I could cry"
CHORUS
[C9]He's always singing t[Dm]here[C9]
(no chord) Dm
Well Hank's always singing there
