Standard (EADGBE)

Intro riff

 midnight in montgomery

 silver eagle, lonely roads

I was on my way to mobile

 for a big new year's eve show

 stopped for just a minute

 to see a friend outside of town

my collar up, I found his name

 felt the wind die down

 and a drunk man in a cowboy hat

 took me by surprise

wearin' shiny boots, a nudie suit

 and haunt, haunted eyes

 he said, friend its good to see you

 its nice to know you care

and the wind picked up

and he was gone or was he

 ever realy there

Chorus

 'cause its midnight in montgomery

 just hear that whipperwhill

 see the stars light up the purple sky

 feel that lonesome chill

 'cause when the wind is right you'll hear his song,

 Smell wiskey in the air

 Midnight in montgomery

 He's always singin' there

Intro riff

 I climbed back on that eagle

 took one last look around

red tail lights, shadow moves slow across the ground

 off somewhere a midnight train

 slowly passes by

I can hear that whistle blowin'

 I'm so lonesome I could cry

Chorus

 well hanks always singin' there
