And a [Dm]drunk man in a cowboy hat [C]took me by surprise Wearing [Bb]shiny boots, a nudie suit and [Dm]haunted, haunted eyes [Dm]he said, friend its good to see you, it’s [C]nice to know you care and the [Bb]wind picked up and he was gone or was he [A]ever really there

‘Cause it’s [C]midnight in [Dm]Montgomery, just [C]hear that [Dm]whip-poor-will. See the [C]stars light up the [Dm]purple sky, [A]feel that lonesome chill. ‘Cause when the [C]wind is right you’ll hear his song, Smell [Dm]whiskey in the air, [C]midnight in [Bb]Montgomery. He’s [A]always singing [Dm]there…

[Dm]I climbed back on that eagle, took [C]one last look around. [Bb]red tail lights, shadow, moves [Dm]slow across the ground. [Dm]off somewhere a midnight train, [C]slowly passes by. I can [Bb]hear that whistle blowing, I’m so [A]lonesome I could cry.
