[G]
[Em]I thumbed my way from L.A. back to [C]Knoxville
I found[G] out those bright lights ain't where I be[D]long
from a [Em]phone booth in the rain I called to [C]tell her
[Am]I've had a change of dreams I'm comin' [D]home
C D (C, D, G)
but tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone
CHORUS:
[G]Smoky Mountain Rain keeps on [Bm]fallin'
C D (C, D, G)
I keep on callin' her name
[G]Smoky Mountain Rain I'll kep on [Bm]searchin'
I can't go on [C]hurtin' this [D]way
she's [C]somewhere in the [D]smoky mountain [G]rain
verse 2:
[Em]I waved a diesel down outside a [C]cafe
he said [G]he was goin' as far as [D]Gatlinburg
I climbed[Em] up in the cab all wet and [C]lonely
[Am]I wiped my eyes and told him about [D]her
C D (C, D, G)
I've got to find her can you make these big wheels burn
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE: [Cmaj7]I can't blame her for lettin' go
[G]a woman needs someone warm to hold
[Fmaj7]I feel the rain runnin' down my face
Bbmaj7 D (C, D, G)
I'll find her no matter what it takes
(instrumental)
(CHORUS)
