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
