Midnight In Montgomery - Alan Jackson
Album: Don't Rock The Jukebox
Writers: Alan Jackson/Don Sampson

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                               C9
Midnight in Montgomerey, Silver Eagle, lonely road
      Bbsus2                    Dm
I was on my way to Mobile for a big New Year's Eve show
Dm                                    C9
I stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of town
       Bbsus2                            A7
Put my collar up, I found his name, and felt the wind die down

       Dm                        C9
And a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise
        Bbsus2                         Dm
Wearing shiny boots, a Nudi suit, and haunting haunted eyes
         Dm                                C9
He said, friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care
         Bbsus2                                 A7
Then the wind picked up and he was gone, was he ever really there


Chorus:
            C9              Dm           C9                Dm   
Cause it's midnight in Montgomery, just hear that whippoorwill
         C9                 Dm          A7
See the stars light up the purple sky, feel that lonesome chill
          C9                                        Dm
When the wind is right you'll hear his song, smell whiskey in the air
C              Bbsus2        A7              Dm
Midnight In Montgomery, he's always singing there



(repeat intro)


        Dm                              C9
Well I climbed back on that Eagle, took one last look around
        Bbsus2                          Dm
Through red tail lights, a shadow moved slow across the ground
    Dm                                 C9
And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by
        Bbsus2                           A7
I could hear that whistle moan, "I'm so lonesome I could cry"


CHORUS


C9                   Dm    C9
He's always singing there
(no chord)                       Dm
Well Hank's always singing there
