The in all the verses has a little hammer-on variation going back and forth from (xx0320) to Dm. See the intros and tabs posted on this site if you want to see more detail on that. Intro: (x2) Midnight in Montgomerey, Silver Eagle, lonely road I was on my way to Mobile for a big New Year's Eve show I stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of town Put my collar up, I found his name, and felt the wind die down And a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise Wearing shiny boots, a Nudi suit, and haunting haunted eyes He said, friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care Then the wind picked up and he was gone, was he ever really there Cause it's midnight in Montgomery, just hear that whippoorwill See the stars light up the purple sky, feel that lonesome chill When the wind is right you'll hear his song, smell whiskey in the air Midnight In Montgomery, he's always singing there (repeat intro) Well I climbed back on that Eagle, took one last look around Through red tail lights, a shadow moved slow across the ground And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by I could hear that whistle moan, "I'm so lonesome I could cry" Chorus He's always singing there (no chord) Well Hank's always singing there
