**Note: Beginners can use a D chord in place of the Bm in this song and it still sounds pretty good. [Intro] G Bm C G C G [Verse 1]
Em                                 C
I thumbed my way from L.A. back to Knoxville

       G                                        D
I found out those bright lights ain't where I belong

       Em                                  C
from a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her

Am                                     D
I've had a change of dreams I'm comin' home

          C                                       D     C D
but tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone
[Chorus]
G                              Bm
  Smoky mountain rain keeps on fallin'

          C           D     C D
I keep on callin' her name

G                                   Bm
  Smoky mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'

              C            D
I can't go on hurtin' this way

      C                D              G
she's somewhere in the smoky mountain rain
[Verse 2]
Em                              C
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe

        G                      D
he said he was goin' as far as Gatlinburg

         Em                         C
I climbed up in the cab all wet and cold and lonely

Am                                 D
I wiped my eyes and told him about her

           C                                       D     C D
I've got to find her can you make these big wheels burn
[Chorus]
G                              Bm
  Smoky mountain rain keeps on fallin'

          C           D     C D
I keep on callin' her name

G                                   Bm
  Smoky mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'

              C            D
I can't go on hurtin' this way

      C                D              G
she's somewhere in the smoky mountain rain
[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
I'll find her no matter what it takes
