[G], [D], [C] x2, fast [G],[C],[G]

[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

[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

[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)
         [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
