**Note :Beginners can use a D chord in place of the Bm in this song and it still sounds pretty good. Intro: G, D, C x2, fast G,C,G G

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, G)
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, G)
I keep on callin' her name

G                               Bm
Smoky Mountain Rain I'll kep 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 lonely

Am                                 D
I wiped my eyes and told him about her

           C                                       D    (C, D, G)
I've got to find her can you make these big wheels burn

(CHORUS)

         Cmaj7
BRIDGE:  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) G, D, C, D (CHORUS)
